So when you have a disc at say 6.5 all targets below that are going to give a iron grunt depending on where you set the tone? But if you notch that then you won't hear anything? How many hunt with no iron vol so you don't hear the iron VS the ones like me that like to hear the grunts at a low vol of say 1-2..and use two tones

Anything below the Disc setting won't register VDI or tone. You won't see a vertical "black bar" on the VDI scale above the VDI info. When a target is notched, for instance a pulltab, you may get a vertical "black bar" on the VDI scale, and if the target is strong enough, the VDI will read two horizontal bars and you MAY get audio.

I've had some signals give audio, but no VDI that were plenty shallow. Many times these are coins trying to hide next to foil, nails, etc. Sometimes too it's large iron, but the audio usually gives the latter away.

I wouldn't try setting my Deus that way and here's why. I have had many colocated/partially mask targets come in with high tone and ring up as VDI 1, 2, 3, so on. Using notch the way you are suggesting/asking may do away with hearing those targets.

One of the great features of the Deus is the ability to use the discrimination and still hear as much or as little of the iron or other targets that fall below the level you have set the discrimination at. In the expert section audio the first tone that is set and and where it falls is determined by your disc setting. So let's say you set the disc to 5 then the base tone will be from 00-5 and you use the Iron Volume setting to adjust how loud it is. You wouldn't use your notch in this spot to adjust this sound just back off on the iron volume. Let's say your running your unit in 4 tones with a disc of 5 and you have the iron volume turned all the way down. Now you have a three tone detector. The Deus sees all targets under the coil and assigns a VDI for all. The notch function only does one thing it removes the audio from the headphones for the VDI range that you set it at.
