SMALL 4" COIL

It's going to depend on the situation where you want to try getting close to those kind of things. I'd just go there and toss down a coin nearby and try to detect it. Pretty quick you'll see for yourself how close you can get. There's no magic settings, mainly a smaller coil will have a reduced circle of sensitivity around it and be able to get nearer to nusiance signals.
Myself, I run the 4" coil freehand like a scrub brush, and set the detector beside me to view the display or meter and operate it. I sit myself on the ground and scan around. Works great under the chin up bars. No bending over or getting up and down over and over.
It's not as deep for the same reason that the sensitive area is not as wide as with a larger coil.
