MarkCZ said:I believe its pretty common in several of the modern Fisher and Teknetics detectors, My Omega would do that, my the F70 does that, and I believe the later version of the F5 will. But for me I had NO desire for the Nickel trash zone hitting in the high tone range! I tried it and it wasn't something I'd want to repeat. I can sometimes crunch numbers in the Nickel zone and pick them out, but not in the High Tone zone.

No! its not that, but when everything in the Nickel zone is also mixed in with the High Tone range (more in the audible mixing bowl) its makes the High tone range to cluttered when I'm hunting open public areas like parks and ball fields. If I'm clad stabbing and I want to grab the nickels I can crunch the numbers in the nickel range and do very well at getting the nickels. More often than not I'm hunting for silver so I find it better to just keep the nickels at the lower tone. Before I would try and toss the nickel tone into the high tone range I would probably just select the 2-tone option (Iron and everything else), run the discrimination up to a desired level for the area and just dig anything that gave a good response.
