Question for you Deleon users

[Rainyday101]

You guys have my interest peaking on that Deleon. Are you getting good depth with it? I would like to set it up to disc. out crap and just cherry pick silver. I know I would miss nickels and rings, but I want a good detector to just pick out the silver. I am looking for good depth and the ability to minimize digging trash. Is the Deleon the detector for this or what would you recommend? My soil is mild so the ground balance is not a big deal.

Deleon would be great for Cherry Picking but it could also get the Nickels and rings. Set your Discrimination low and just watch the Screen. better yet get a Cortes, use the Notch, and you will still get the Nickels.

Screen is small though.

I've used the D a lot in mild soil and I can tell you that Silver or Clad will hit accurately at the 95 coin indication down to good depth. Actually, I've found that I get very good performance with the sensitivity set around 7, disc at iron or slightly above. With the sensitivity set at 10, my D air tests quarters around (9-10") in disc mode and 10 -11" in all metal, 2" more than the other

There is no need to up the discrimination. The DeLeon will lose some depth if you do - and you can just use the meter to determine if you want to dig a given target.

I am not cherry picking, but it would be pretty easy. My biggest complaint is that the display clears too fast - which is pretty minor, really.
