Some more VX3 questions

You are right, you don't understand. What would your test show, nothing.

Set your Disc to 1 pass the coin and move it further and further away from the coil. Measure the distance. Increase the disc and repeat. It should see the coin at a greater distance.

A higher disc will allow you to detect coin size objects at greater depths. As the object is buried deeper its signal gets smaller. It also allows you to detect smaller objects becuse smaller objects have smaller signals. You can also set your Disc lower to avoid hearing smaller bits.

Yes, you're right. I don't have a clue with the adjustment - hence the question. By I appreciate your candor. I'm getting a grasp on the adjustment now. Just did your test and yes, the higher the DISC the further it picks up. Seeing this test in action, it's coming all together now.

So in the DEMO mode, the RX is at 2. With the DISC at 1, I can't get a hit further than 3 inches, BUT if I leave the DISC at 1 and raise the RX to 10, I get a hit at 5 inches. Interesting.

Now that I can see the adjustments in action, I need to figured out how to use this adjustment to my advantage. Seems there's some off setting here. Like the machine responds the same way with either a higher RX and a lower DISC, or the other way around, a lower RX and an higher DISC...

You are making this far harder on yourself than needs be. Use the stock coin and jewelry program and go out and have fun. After you get 100 hours in using the VX3, you will have a much better understanding how things work.
