Tried what Elton did, max disc, 85 sense

So i dont have the concentric, but did have a 10 inch elliptical i never used, Removed 11 inch double d from my 75ltd and put on the elliptical. Interesting. At first noisy, I realized i had some things notch out so i then got rid of the notched settings so it was just pure (65) disc. I was at a junky place i had found old coins at before and thought i was done with. It was strange in this way: I usually use 3 tones and left it set at that setting, and with this set up I essentially was only getting one tone, all high tones. What i found was a good sounding hit was either a coin, large metal or large aluminum object.. I could bypass the large metal ones by virtue of their size sound wise. I dug absolutely no aluminum foil or small bits of aluminum, at all, but of course no nickles either. I was getting some falsies so lowered my sense to about 75-80. I was surprised that i found four wheat backs i had totally missed before. 1910, 1917 and two from the forties. It really honed in on dimes with a very clear id and bark. I will try this setup at several other previously hunted areas, the coin signals where as Elton described, accurate and loud, I was really surprised. They where all 6 inches deep or less, but I think thats just the way they run there, Good Observation Elton, thanks, CO
 
Thanks Osgood for the confirmation ..As I stated, some small adjustments may have to be made in different dirt and hunting areas...
 
I agree with the 85 sensitivity setting. Last night I was doing a little testing on my 5" coil with the high disc setting and just for kicks I ran the sensitivity up to 90 and put my test coin in front of the coil and it knocked off an inch from the lower sensitivity settings. Then I put it to 85 and my inch was back. So from what I see you can set the sensitivity to high and the performance of the machine will suffer.

Also je won't be as deep as pf. BP may stutter as well depending on how much emi or interference the machine is getting. De or pf will be deeper. Than je or boost at times if the sense is too high. Ground minerals also play a big part. Now with the sef 10x12. Sense 60 disc 85 tones 3. Will give me 15 ins in air on a US quarter breaks up rapidly at 16. 17. Maybe a blip. Up the sense to 75 no problem at 16-17. Ins. Bump up to 90. And quarter breaks up at 13-14 ins last hunt I ran sens 80 disc 65 tones 3. PF. No problem to hit several mercs at 12 ins in ground. The f75 is unique in the fact that there are several boost points when setting disc 60sense 22disc je will light up man its amazing how sense and disc myths are disproven daily with the 75. Hats off to Dave J. And John G. It's one heck of a machine. HH to all good luck 2014. C t
