Does disc go above 65? I want to cherry pick.

[Idaho-Marke]

I live high in the mountains and the MD season is closing fast as snow is coming and it's getting cold outside.

I'm hunting a large school play yard going back 100 years I want to cherry pick dimes and quarters only in the limited time I have left and it seems my disc will only go to 65. Is this normal?

I want 80 and above seeking clad quarters and old silver coins that are deep so I can cover a lot of ground fast and then lower the disc for everything else in the spring when I can hunt for more than an hour or two without frostbite. Can you try to set your machines above 65 and let me know if it is my machine only that won't go above 65 or that is the way it is.

Thanks for your help.

65 is max but you will get better depth with the disc low, at 6 or even 0. Then you can use either 2F or 4H tones... or one tone and check the numbers. At 65 you will still cut out most signals. I sometimes hunt on 65 with lower nickels notched in. The disc at this level or the notch at that level will cause it to chatter a bit more than normal. Putting the disc on 0 and making sure nothing is notched in and running 2F tones will cause the machine to chatter until you start to swing it. All the iron will grunt and the silver will sing, just look a the TID to see if you are getting a tab or a coin. The F75 is SO fast that you really can use no disc, one tone and still move at a good pace. Even faster with 2F tones but 3 or more tones will slow you down due to high falses. You have the chance of missing a good target next to iron if you use 2F because the iron will grunt while the number will be a little higher than it should be for iron but... since it grunts and you are moving fast you probably wont see it.
If I were to use disc 65 I would hunt in one tone only.
