[QUOTE="bob, post: 262783, member: 628"] Empty Pockets The manual says that it is best to search for gold in "all metal mode" with discrimination off. Only turn to discrimination to check a target. Early in the day I dig all targets with out using discrimination. As the day progresses and the junk tally rises I start to use the discrimination on isolated targets but never when generally searching. Large targets like big bolts, railway spikes and horseshoes etc that are very deep are not always recognised as iron at first. Sometimes you need to take six inches off the top before the signal blanks out. Searching with discrimination turned on can be very confusing if there are lots of targets. The threshold blanks then sounds off, it is difficult to tell what is there. So I would say leave the discrimination off until you isolate a target. Personally I prefer to dig most targets unless I am having a really bad junk day and I have a fairly good idea if it is ferrous or non ferrous by the tone of the signal. Cheers Bob. [/QUOTE]
