What kind of depth loss can one expect dropping the sensitivity?
For instance:
With the ground frozen, a did a bit of general testing last night here in the house. With the nails in the floor and the electrical interference from electronics, it matches my yard outside pretty well. After noise canceling, as well as running through the different channels, I then started to drop the Sens. to see where it started to stabilize. It wasn't until I had it dropped to 9-10 that it began to stabilize. I know it depends partly on ground mineralization but, with the stock 10" Slimline and Sun Ray X-5, what kind of depth (or depth loss) should I expect with the Sensitivity at 10?
Another one of my spots is in a little triangle of land that has power lines on each side and with my Sov I've had to drop it's Sens. as low as 2 (4 o'clock) in some parts of the lot, so I suspect I'll have the same issue there with the SE.

P.S. Just tested something else--that didn't seem to work--but, in the process can see what folks have said about trusting the sound rather than the readout. I tossed a couple of half dollars on the floor and, with all of the nails in the flooring, it's awful hard to get the crosshairs in the readout into the top right corner with the wiggle but the sound comes through clear and bright (particularly w/ pitch hold on).
