[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 374466, member: 3149"] Looking for big deep gold or wishing to reject iron are two very different things, so will require different coils and settings. To work trashy areas you generally want a smaller coil so it can isolate better between ferrous and non-ferrous. The Custom Hi-Trash mode is a good place to start. I would only ignore any cleanly blanking signals. For best results, make sure you have the coil switch in DD, and use Fixed GB. For running a big DD in Vic looking for big deep targets, you definitely want to get things happening in Normal, which usually needs a drop in Gain. I've been in spots where I've needed to run Rx as low as 4. Stabilizer 20 is too rattly for me, and my setting depends on which Audio Type is selected. My general rule of thumb is: Deep: Stabilizer 6-8 Normal: Stabilizer 9-12 Quiet: Stabilizer 13-16 Whenever I'm not using any of the smooth timings, I like to run in Tracking, preferably Slow, but Medium if needed. The other thing I avoid when using DD's is Very Slow motion. It just isn't required and Slow or Medium will give you a slightly brighter response. [/QUOTE]
