Here the settings that I use, and you will see from my notes that most came from Elmy. I have also sent these setting to Elmy and he says they are not just like his but close and they will work.
Based on Elmy’s Magic Settings and his 1-10 Pattern
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sensitivity = Auto +3, and manual whatever the area can stand.
Threshold level = (17) Elmy’s says NO HIGHER THAN 20 & he says this is a very important setting.
Volume limit = (15), Adjust this headphone volume control.
Volume Gain = (30) at a lower like 24 this setting it gives a sound of something deep or smaller in size. Air tested this with big and small silver to get a different volume at max depth.
Response set for = (Long) Long, Smooth, Normal, in that order. Elmy sent me a video about the long setting that showed me what the long setting is doing. Big break through when I started using Long. The manual says long may add some depth. Don’t think I would use (Pitch Hold)
Tone ID = 4 tones, & (2) tones, when running ferrous. Multi when running conductive.
Sounds set for = (Ferrous) & now back working conductive. Ferrous is better for running by sounds and then check meter ID.
Variability = (30),
Limit = (30) Leave set at 30 but only works when tones are set to Multi. Reason for running Multi tones.
Threshold Pitch = set first, (15) for me, once you get what you like don’t change this one it makes everything sound different.
Recovery Deep = (off) in high iron trash, with low iron trash run on. Also deep ON slows the response speed down, more filtering. On=Better ID. On and off air tested the same. So off should get better separation.
Recovery Fast = (on) if the trash is real bad run this on. On=Filters off, off = filters on with better ID
Trash Density = (high)
Ground = difficult, the ground in my yard tested in difficult sensitivity at 25 with sound at 26 and neutral made it to 26 with sound at 27. Need to run the same test in the park with the 5.5” coil before hunting.
Noise Cancel = Run this manual at 2 for silver. For all coins run at 11.
Contrast down to 12 helps you see the screen in sun light. This was a good tip from forum.
Pinpoint Mode= normal
Show Sensitivity = on
Show mode info = off
Display Timeout Elmy’s suggestion is on.
Hope this helps,
