F75: DE / Disc = 0 / Tone = DP / Sens = "medium"

I tried this setting yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! The key was setting the sensitivity so low that when the coil was held in the air, you would hear a tick or pop only every second or two. The DP tone really made the deep silver "ring" (kind of Explorer-like) and the Sens=0 seemed to really smooth out the response and give a nice "round" tone to coin shaped objects. Testing my stock 11" DD in my rock-hard test bed showed no loss in sensivity compared to (noisier) higher gains and moderate (6-15) discrimination.

The only down side was that nickels didn't give off the high pitch like what 4H outputs.

Testing of the 5" DD is next...

Give it a try and let me know what you think!
 
I will give it a try.
 
Interesting. I guess a somewhat equivalent setting for the F70 would be to have discrim at 1 to keep the tones.


Exactly how low did you have to go with the sensitivity? By medium I'm guessing maybe in the 50's?

(I notice in the post it says Sens 0 but I know you meant discrim 0)

With DISC>6, I usually run with SENS~60. I ran my test with DISC=0 & SENS~45, a 15 point drop. Again, I saw virtually no loss of depth compared to a chattery background with moderate discrimination.

I have no idea how some folks can run low disc and sensititivities >90. I've never found a location in any of my rural hunts where I could tolerate so much noise.
 
what you give up on that setting is you will see more masking well you won't see it but you will walk over a lot of targets..
 
What part of these settings contributes to masking? Is it the DP tones or the low sensitivity? I was thinking the lower sens would be better for unmasking goodies in trash?

???

Remember, I'm runninng DISC=0.
 
The higher the sens the better at unmasking my unit chatters when I set it down and also when I hunt when you are in mono tone you have to wait for the solid tone that repeats and then dig
