Gain level

I was used to a single volume detector (ie. volume did not vary w/ depth), so I started w/ the gain at 10 on the Explorer. I'm willing to put up w/ a bit of falsing, it even helps slow me down. However, I'm wondering what other disadvantages there may be to running your gain at 10?

I don't think there is a disadvantage....lowering gain does help distiguish depth....so if your in really hard soil and don't want to dig a deep target, the gain helps you decide...with gain at 10 it could be 1" or 12"
GOLDDIGGER told me he runs gain at 10 all the time cause he doesn't want to miss anything...I have to agree with him...depth really isn't an issue if you want the target..
Its funny. I bought the Explorer XS cause I wanted the Depth meter and now I don't really use it cause it's not very accurate.
I dig a target based on its possible value...I've never really cared about how deep it was.
