tesoro compadre all metal mode?

Thanks Tabman I air tested the compadre with coin at different disc. settings was a little increase in depth with no disc maybe half of a inch.Is it because of the E.D 180 disc. that it's not threshold based or are their other 180 E. D. units that are threshold based? pre-set G.B.?

My Vaquero is 180 ED and is threshold based...but rumor is it is really more like 165 ED and playing around in iron with the disc knobs on both my Compadre and my Vaquero I believe it is.
I believe I have read the Compadre and the Tejon are both true 180 ED units, and the Tejon has a threshold.

Thanks tabman, great point and one that many Compadre owners probably never thought of, including myself. Of course the manual does say in the first paragraph "Your Compadre detector is a single knob VLF discriminator ".
The thought just never occurred to me that since this machine doesn't have a threshold circuit, it couldn't have true All Metal, threshold based, circuitry. Tesoro probably decided to designate the
zero-discrimination dial position as "ALL MET" (aka ALL METAL) because it would be more familiar to most folks than something like "Zero Disc".
