Interesting F19 settings

[laserfeller]

Hunting with these settings is really interesting.
volume=13
V-break=0
disc=0
no notch
All signals are high tone. It's like hunting in 1-tone on a T2 or F75.
The difference is, all signals below 40 (iron) are quiet and all signals above 40 are loud and really jump out at you.
Even the good soft whisper signals have a louder volume than the signals that are below 40.

That is interesting. I did something similar myself yesterday. Only the 2nd time out with the f19 getting to know the machine trying different settings. Set sens. 100, v break 0, disc. 0 , volume 10. From that point on its was dig every hit. Ended up with some good finds in a not to productive spot. I swear I believe it was going deeper but that could just be my imagination.

On the F19's I had I ran the Sensitivity as high as possible, usually at '100.'

Discrimination was at '0' because it took too high a setting to reject iron nails, which was one of the issues I had with the F19. On the Teknetics Omega, the Iron/Non-Iron Disc. point is also '40,' but I can set the Discrimination at about '16'/'17' and reject the four nails on my Nail Board Performance Test. Thus, nails and some lesser-responding iron was rejected, but some iron would still respond above nail reject. That let me hear some iron in the area and I could slow-down and work around the iron to check for a partially masked target.

On the F19's it took a Discrimination setting of '38' or '39' to reject the same nails, so that eliminated virtually all iron. So, with the F19's I set the Discrimination at '0' and the Volume at '13,' which let me hear a lower audio tone for nails and most other ferrous junk, and let me hear all low-volume iron and be alert for any high-tone response.
