Park program help

[weston]

I primarily hunt field sites and I have to say the deus is a killer there. But I would like to be able to hunt parks on occasion and have found that small aluminum and pull tabs are so close to coin in not only tones but in vdi numbers also which becomes very frustrating. Does anyone have a park program or suggestion to calm the detector down a bit. I understand the gold to pull tab theory...I don't care about that and I don't want to focus on that.

Best Regards, Weston

in trashy parks I: drop sens to 86, drop TX to 2 or even 1, up disc to 10, use a multi tone program and notch. Try 5 tones.
dsic 10
break point at 50 open to 60 for nickles
then 61 to 85 or 86 so you can hear anything above 86
reactivity to 2.5 or even 3 silencer at 1 or even 2
notch the same as the break points
this quiets it down a lot and lets you hear nickles and pennies on up.
these settings are for freq. 11.7 adjust them if you use a different frequency.
let us know if this helps
nickles and square pull tabs come in around 55 so for me after a while i give up on them and notch that out too. BUT, i have found gold rings at 52 and 57 or there abouts so dig between 50 and 60 all you want. GL & HH

oh, I forgot. make an similar program at 4K but use full tones. rusty crown caps some in around 94 ish and they sound really good. switch to 4K and if the TID stays around 94 or goes higher it is a cap, if the TID drops .... dig

For LF coils, turn normalize on so all freqs have the same ID nos, and notch 0-45, 64-80, and 87-89.
That won't be perfect but will allow you to cherry pick thru areas paved with alum trash.

So many different approaches to the same problems. I tend to run in 8k for coin hunting (lower frequencies for higher conductors) with 5 tones so the numbers are spread out. I never normalize again so the numbers are spread out. I use the switch to 4k to identify some junk as described above. Pull tabs of different types are one thing I dig more than I would like.

why 87-89 just out of curiosity building a program now.
