I Hear This Question Ask A Lot About Different Detectors On Forums

[Bill G]

I hear this question ask a lot about different detectors on forums all the time. The question is ( What is the best setting for my detector ???) The real answer to this question is the specific ground condition in your area at the time of your hunt will determine the best setting for your detector. The general rule of thumb is to set the level of discrimination or all metal mode based on how you want to hunt, then set the sensitivity as high as you can while still maintaining detector stability along with a good stable ground balance and your good to go with a VLF detector. If there is a lot of trash, iron or hot rocks and it's reaping havoc on the detector back the sensitivity down a little and re ground balance, repeat as needed to get stability. This information will allow you to get the best or proper settings for your detector based on the type of ground your hunting in at the time.

So the best setting for one area may be different in another and different even a little between two of the same kind detectors in the same area being hunted.

Happy & Safe Hunting To All,

Gentleman, there is one other prerequisite to your settings. The Detector must have Garrett on it.
