Comments:

This program works well for deep hunting in medium trashy areas. It is set for mineralized Missouri ground but can be bumped up for milder ground. The key to this program is TONE ID. The trick is to keep Ground Filtering on hot-key. When you get a hint of high pitch coin tone near trash - hit the down-arrow key and set filters to 3. Re-sweep and listen for improvement in coin tone. If there is a repeatable improvement...DIG! Its probably a coin. To go back into hunt mode, hit the up-arrow key and reset filters to 6. Also, if there are multiple targets under the coil - use DC Phase VDI's to sort them out. In pinpoint mode slowly move the coil from one target to the other. Don't look for any particular VDI number but rather a repeatable shift in VDI that indicates whether target is low VDI trash or high VDI coin.

I prefer Modulation OFF for deep hunting. Ratchet Pinpoint is OFF to make it easier to distinguish large deep targets like beer cans. Discrimination may be set to individual taste. Be aware that more discrimination will make it MUCH harder for the machine to "see" a coin close to trash. I kind of like Dave Z's philosophy of "listen to it all and dig what you like".
