in Ferrous can pick out all the tones and once you use it awhile its great 
I have tried -16 several times but been unable to use it here in VA. There are too many targets in the ground and perhaps too many overhead wires.
Once when the soil was trucked in or something and there were no targets in the ground it did work in about a 20 square foot area. Otherwise if I choose to do this it is -14 or -13. I can do this when there are not too many targets. But with a lot of trash it becomes unmanageable for me.
This setting will bring in a lot of other targets in any area but I end up digging too much trash. I do get those hard to find coins that give weird readings but like I said it usually is too noisy or too many trash targets. It would be ideal in an original camp without all the modern stuff around.

if you are a relic hunter - then sure -16 but if you are a coinshooter
you can run at -13 down to -10 and still find plenty of deep coins while eliminating some of the more bothersome iron pieces.
I pulled a colonial copper at 12" using -10, so I'm not real convinced
that -16 is going to give me that much more depth on coins. On relics with larger mass - it most definitely will. least that's my opinion.
