I got a new Tiger shark last week. read book 3 or 4 times air testing and ground balancing Thur the week. Took it out Saturday to local beech. Spent about 3 hours MTing. found about a dozen bobby pins 4 to 6 inches deep loads of shredded cans,a clad dime at 6 inches and a nasty nickle at 8 inches, and a fishing hook. Setting all metal fast and Disc at Minnaminnie Mode Norm. If anyone knows I need to know what is Motion Disc. I have not worked with any type of Discrimination yet. Any feed back please?

Motion disc is explained quite well in the manual (as far as I can remember - it is in the "Setting the sensitivity" chapter). Motion says that you must move the coil to sound a target. Discrimination means that some unwanted targets are eliminated with the discrimination knob, starting from iron, going over foil, etc. The rejected target either does not sound at all or makes a broken, screechy signal.

What I usually do is that I set the disc mode to "spit" on an iron nail. And dig everything that beeps nicely. That would most probably eliminate the bobby pins and the fishing hook.

Thanks! I was reading earlier today and saw that DA! Like I said I am learning and some of us are slow learners. I was just amazed how deep it picked up small targets. A floating sifter and a pair of long sleeved rubber glove and I will be ready to get in the water.
