I have a few areas that are easy digging and other hunters keep them pretty clean (bless there hearts). When I hunt these areas I super tune my Vaquero. I start by setting it up in all metal with the threshold set so I can just verily here it and sensitivity about 1/2 way. Now I ground balance the machine. Once it is ground balanced I turn up the Discriminate knob just until it clicks off all metal, then I turn the threshold volume and sensitivity knobs all the way up. I then back the sensitivity back just a little if needed (sometimes it does and sometimes it don't) and hunt. It is so sensitive set up like this that I have to hold my metal digging tool behind my back to keep it from interfering. I was surprised how stable the V run set up like this over clean ground. For example I hunted like this yesterday and only dug 5 things in 1 1/2 hours of hunting. Three small pieces of foil, a hairpin (about 5 inches deep) and a very thin gold ring (with 3 diamonds) that was about 9 inches deep. Bill in Texas
