It took me a minute to figure it out, but once you know how it's a piece of cake. Here's how I do it. Go into block edit and run the VDI numbers all the way down to -95. Switch from "reject" to "accept" and back to "reject" (I do this just to be sure). Now, with the setting on "reject" go up the VDI scale to the desired "accept" range. For instance let's say you only want to dig copper pennies, dimes and large silver. So you go up the scale to from -95 to +80 in "reject" mode. Once you're at +80 you switch to "accept" (by hitting the "enter" button) and then run up the VDI scale to +95 in "accept" mode. When you get to +95 you hit the "Menu" button and you're set

That is exactly how to do it from Okiedigger. The program I use is Reject -95 to +9, Accept +10 to +94 and reject +95. I use this 90% of the time unless I am trying to get to the really deep stuff. I gain a little more depth with this, Reject -95 to -40, accept -41 to +94 and reject +95.

OK, but how do you double check it. I am not sure I have it set correctly

To check what you have done in Block Edit, go to Disc. Edit and you can run through the whole Discrimination pattern without changing anything. To change something, press ENTER to accept or reject whatever needs to be changed. Don't forget to save changes to your Custom program or your changes will only be temporary.
