I'm on the Edge

Greetings all:

I am new to MD (January 06)and I have the ID Edge. I use it mostly in oC. The last 3 times I've been out I've been using all metal mode and disc set at 00 with various sens setting usually from 4 to 7 depending on the ground.

I have a question, in oC mode I get good clear tones from low to high. However, when I use all metal mode the tones are very strange and difficult to distinguish from one another. The tones are lower, slower and longer, even when it reads in the +20s and 30s. I've tried changing sens, disc, volume, with and without the headphones and nothing seems to help. Could there be something wrong with the machine, or just user error?

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Regina
 
Since no one has answered, the all-metal mode is a single tone mode. That's why they all sound the same. You might try a custom mode with the disc set to zero with no other + numbers set for rejection. This will give you all four tones while simulating the all-metal mode since you won't be discriminating anything out.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response. I just want to be sure I understand your instructions. I always have the disc at 00 "with no other+ numbers set for rejection" are you referring to notching? I'm not sure I understand that part. Please forgive my ignorance.

Thank you for your advise.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. What I'm saying is, not to run in all-metal at all, but to run in a disc mode with everything set to accept. That way, you will get all four tones, while not discriminating anything out. All-metal mode is a single tone mode, while the disc modes are multi-tone.

Go into the "cP" mode and adjust the disc to -36. Make sure the all-metal icon is not on, and no notches are on. This way you will be hunting as if you were in all-metal, accepting all targets, but will get the benefit of the four tones that are only active in the disc mode. You can then use the combination of the tone, and the numeric readout, to determine your dig no-dig decision.

Hope this makes sense.
