Ok, heres one to try,
Relic mode
IAR 0
Notch 00-02
Threshold 2
Reactivity 0
Sensitivity to suit
Audio 5
May seem unusable to look at I agree, but I have been working on it for a while and found the following, I could HEAR targets with this set up that none of the usual field/park programs could, and yes I upped the audio response in these programs to match (5) but the minute you drop the discrimination to match, the chatter is impossible.
Runs very quiet with above settings
Thoughts? Gaz

Thanks, I'll give it a try next time I'm out.

I'm a fan of Relic and Gold Field because of how deep they can punch. The main problem I encounter with them is the iron (especially bent nails/misshapen pieces) which often sounds pretty good in these programs. I've found that increasing IAR helps a bit but as much as you'd hope.

I've found that the tones are smoother on non ferrous almost rounder if you know what I mean.

Gaz I used Relic quite a bit with the D1 but really haven't tried it with the D2. I agree with Abcoin, those bent nails are a pain even with IAR cranked up. But those crusty colonial era bent nails are a challenge for any program.

I can see where you're coming from, but again it is down to tones, even though I dont usually hunt by numbers, I had a cracking hammered silver coin come in at a solid smooth 81, later in the day another repeatable 81 but really harsh in tone, sure enough a piece of rounded cast iron about the size of a dollar. Its still a work in progress and just to add I'm still using V0.71
