Made an interesting discovery this weekend. My wife and I attended an annual club sponsored hunt that we attend each year. After the last session, while packing up, I noticed that the settings on her SS

Bumped counterclockwise you mean? Like to threshold 'off'? I will check the D and see if there is any effect. I usually run the threshold at about 1 o'clock, and dial it back slightly if I switch to AM.
Running the threshold in the null range is something some of us did way back when we were using the old all metal mode only TR's and hunting where here was a lot of deeper trash targets in the ground, and it works as well on current detectors that allow adjusting the threshold as it did then. Not only does it reduce depth and prevent a lot of the deeper junk from giving a response, it also provides better target separation. An example of running the threshold in the silent range. There's a fairly large school playground near here that was built on top of an old city garbage dump from the 1950's and 60's. With normal detector settings very little can be heard except the metal in the dump, and the several people who tried to hunt there quickly gave up. One of them called it the playground from hell
, but setting the threshold and sensitivity to where a coin could only be detected at 2 to 3 inches has allowed hundreds of coins to be found. It also allows hunting closer to fences and other metal objects.

JB(MS) - That's good information on top of what I posted. In the hunt I mentioned, the planted coins were very shallow so if the coil was close to the ground, the setting made little difference to the success of the hunt. My main point was to make people aware that the threshold setting definitely has an affect on the disc. mode and they should experiment to see how it acts.
