need help on setting up cibola for relic hunting

Where do you set for the disc and the sense also I notice air testing that when you go from orange to 9or 10 you lose several inches is this normal

Set the discrimination just high enough to discriminate out a nail. The threshold should be just barely audible.

Run the sensitivity as high as you can without the detector becoming unstable and giving off false signals if want to get maximum depth.

Relic hunters many times will only disc out smaller nails and bits & pieces of smaller Iron (which is basically what "tabman" is saying)

Next relics can range in depth, so you do want as much sensitivity as you can get with as little loss of stability as possible (you may have to put with some chatter as the higher settings)

Relic hunters when hunting areas that aren't littered with rust, nails, or other small Iron, likes to use larger coils.

Any detector that has an adjustable audible threshold will be set to a level of just barely "audible" this sets the proper level for entry level (faint) target responses to trigger a response to the operator.

I would think it to be good to run the disc all the way on minimum if you are in an area without many signals like in a wooded area. With the discrim all the way down it can definitely help with targets on the edge of detection.
