I can give you some things to try, but being in Australia I don

That 8 inch mono should give a solid hi/lo on a nickel at 10-12 inches down with discrim at 0 and threshold in the 5-6 range. For dimes with that coil, I would think 7-8 inches would be the norm but that all depends on the conditions. Also, remember that clad and copper will hit with a lo/hi sound. It may be faint and not very loud, so you have to listen.

It takes a while to learn this unit and you have to learn how to set it up optimally for your conditions.
