What exactly does the stability mode do??

A heavily mineralized area can produce ground responses that affect the manner that the detector usually reads the target. In other words, the mineralization of the spot you hunt today might show you a different TID on a particular target, as compared to a lesser mineralized site you hunted last week. So, if you "hunt by the numbers" or have your notches set to reject segments adjacent to "keepers", high areas of mineralization could cause you to pass up good targets that you think are trash. In a nutshell, TID stability incorporates a filtering mode which provides a more consistent target ID in heavily mineralized conditions.
Most of my hunting is done in moderate soil conditions. As such, I find the concentric coils, without TID Stabilization, works very well. If I get into an area with "more than normal" mineralization, I have the option of using the TID stabilization or using a DD coil. The end result is similar for me in this part of the Country. However, for those hunting in areas where the highly mineralized soil conditions warrant a DD coil for optimum performance, you may find that you have the most accurate TID information while using both a DD coil and TID Stabilization.

Thank you gentlemen, I get the drift..It's a filter system, or something close to that that stabilizes readings in bad ground.
Allowing me to hunt highly minerilized ground with more accuracy using the number system..Again thank you. appreciate it.Just thought I knew what it was before your posts.

I know my DFX has programmable filters from 2 - 6. Two filter is best in low mineralization and has a faster recovery speed. 4 filter is the one I use in my moderately mineralized soil as it allows me to hunt with the DFX in much the same manner as with my XLPro, only with a digital read-out.

My experience with the 70 (versus the 30 or 50) is that the numbers are a little jumpier, even in my relatively moderate ground. I find that the target stabilization mode helps settle the numbers down. Ditto at the beach. As you guys mentioned, it could very well be a filter of some sort. I'm glad that the feature is on the 70--it makes the machine more enjoyable to use.
