What type of field are you hunting ? One that is plowed or like a pasture ? If plowed I would use the stock coil, if it is pasture etc, then I would use the 5.5 x 10 coil as it is enclosed and can glide through the stubble and weeds etc.

The only way I see the R2 ignoring small silver (coins ??) is that its too deep, running very high discrimination or you have notched out the areas that small silver might fall in.
If the field is fairly clean of trash I would run 2 tone, Gain at 85 or more, ID Filter at 2, Iron Audio at 1, no Notch. Either stock or 5.5 x 10 coil depending on site condition and a slow methodical sweep, as not to miss the "small" silver object.
If trashy then depending on the amount of trash, either the 5.5 x 10 or the small 5" coil, 3 tone, gain at 70 or 85 , ID Filter at 2, Iron audio at 1, no Notch.
Not having much information to go by, I would start with these basic setups and tweak them to your likes and needs. Also the "small silver" if you have a sample, run it under the coil to get an idea of what it reads, what VDI number(s) does it generally fall in. Then you could lower your tone break so that it will give a "high" tone. On my machine I lower the tone break to 65, so while hunting old sites, Indian Head pennies etc will give a "high"tone.
What settings are you currently using on the Racer 2 ?
