Recently I tried 0 Disc but I've used Full Tones since the v3 release. I usually Notch 00-10 or 00-20 in 4Khz, which helps with the foil bits where I hunt. Haven't seen much difference in both the Horseshoe operation with 0 Disc vs 2.0 Disc, as 00-02 is notched anyway, so I get ZERO iron grunts. However, more recently I've had an adjacent 8khz program that is "wide open" and has Iron Vol at 1. I use this for deep and/or co-located signals - running in 4kHz will ID deep non-ferrous items vs deep iron better than the other freqs, but after switching to the adjacent 8 kHz program I get a better picture of what's in the ground on, or close to a non-ferrous "hit"
Last park hunt these were the programs I used:
4Khz
Sens 85
Full Tones
Disc 0
Reactivity 2
Silencer 0
Notch 00-20, 97-99
Iron Vol 0
Audio Response 4
Overload 1
Manual GB 85
Notch Ground 86-89
8kHz
TX 2
Sens 85
Full Tones
Disc 0
Reactivity 2
Silencer 0
Notch 00 AND 99 (01-98 unnotched!)
Iron Vol 1
Audio Response 4
Overload 1
Manual GB 85
Ground Notch 86-89
I haven't been able to use this 8kHz program to successfully differentiate shallow foil vs deep coins, but it DOES work well for deep iron targets. in 8Khz deeper iron "smears" and not unlike bottlecaps you can hit the edge of the target and it will be "clipped" moreso in this 8kHz mode if it's iron. Deep coins will taper off as you reach the signal edge - but if there's more than one coin under the coil all bets are off - there's no good way to ID. TO make matters worse, not all deep coins are clean hits - often I will find square nails, foil, and other stuff in the same hole that affects the audio quality. Many of these are "one-way hits" and on a cross-scan you will get nulling - and switching to the 8khz program will often indicate iron or something closeby that was notched in the 4kHz program.
This place will be ground zero when the new Deus coil and v4.0 are released, and I expect to pull even more goodies from it. So far, with the 9" coil vs the 11" coil I've pulled more deep keepers in a shorter amount of time than when I used the 11" Deus. Many of these targets are co-located, and going low and slow uncovers more and more even after sweeping the area multiple times. This place could keep me busy for YEARS!
