You got to dig all not to miss the gold!

Gold is in the lower to mid range. Silver is in the high range. Look at the graph on the upper part of the face of the machine. To dig gold and silver run in the relic mode and dig every little beep. No magic pill here. That's with any brand or model.

With only 12 notches of discrimination it makes it hard to fine tune the discrimination. As others have said, you will simply need to dig everything.

Yeah, there's not a metal detector made that will detect "only gold" or "only silver". Metal detectors detect metal. You can notch out everything but the highest end of the conductivity/discrimination scale and dig mostly silver and copper signals, however, a larger piece of junk/trash metal will have same or similar conductivity as a coin sized copper or silver piece of metal. Gold jewelry falls anywhere in between the middle area of the conductivity scale from foil to penny because it is always alloyed with other metals to give it strength. There's all kinds of common trash targets that fall into this range as well. Pull tabs, bottle caps, screw caps, aluminum can bits that have been chopped up by lawn mowers(can slaw) rusty nails and rusty iron(rust/iron oxide has a higher conductivity than iron that is not rusted).
So, as previously stated, if you want to get the goodies ya gotta dig the trash. Anyways, what would the sport be in being able to dig only precios metals. That sounds boring doesn't it?
Best of luck to ya!Happy Hunting!
