[QUOTE="Guest, post: 194720"] That is right with a PI and most vlfs, but not with a BFO or (basic)IB. Place a 1c piece under a pair of fencing pliers and it will still be heard, because the appropriate adjustment is available. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. Adjustment and dumbing down are often confused, again by the dissemination of corporate propaganda. Discrimination is usually done by the latter. By placing the BFO coil above the pliers and adjusting, the coin can easily be heard when the centre of field goes over it. With a basic IB the iron tone is normal-high-normal. With any included non-ferrous it will tone normal-low-high-normal, the same as all non-ferrous. So yes, a commercial detector will be dumbed down by discrimination, and mineralised ground will need this, so you will miss the gold. By the way, how many ML operators out there, do you think, can set up their machines properly? Are the 7000s pulling the gold out the solid ironstone areas, or just the same old grounds the 5000s were? And these are definitely not low budget PIs. [/QUOTE]
