Tips and tricks for double discrimination?

[SpiritRelic]

With the tejon having two discrimination settings at the touch of the finger.How would you utilize this feature?I have one idea so far.I like finding nickels park hunting.So if i set the (running disc)disc1 at before nickel and the second disc after nickel and the signal cuts out,i could isolate a target,the nickel .How would you set up double discrimination?I am thinking there may be more to this double discrimination.I really liked it in the woods.I could run low,then flip to secondary disc which is set higher up the scale,and quickly checking the conductivity of the target.Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on what could be the future of new ideas.Target isolation through dual discrimination. :O

Its all about the way and what you hunt, so what works well for one will not do any good for others. For me I like to hunt for gold jewelry in the parks, so for that the second disk is not needed, just run disc 1 above iron and hunt.

But other days I like to hunt for some of the deeper silver coins, they seem to be running about 6" or so where I hunt. So to hunt the silver I run disk one just above iron and try to pick up on the weaker signals and then flip to disc 2 which is set just above tabs and see if the signal is still there, if so dig it.

As you stated you can create a window of what ever size you want, but I would be careful to not cut it to close to the edge. Setting you disc either one on a nickel on the ground is okay but in the ground things are most of the time different and will read a little higher or lower on your disc. So if you are setting close to the edge you will only get the easy ones and leave the rest. I would suggest opening up a little on both disc just to make sure you are getting all or most of what you want.

If somebody has just lost something and you are looking for that one item try to find one just like it or as close as you can get and set you window off that. I got a call from wife's boss and she had lost her ring sun bathing in her back yard. So after the usual questions, I ask if she had another ring close to same one lost, and she had one, so I setup off that and within a few minutes I was holding the lost ring.

When I had a Tejon first disc was set to take out nails or foil 2nd disc was take out pulltab. If I wasn't digging everything I thumb up the first disc to above nickel and if signal was gone I would dig it.

Well, I added a similar setup to my Silver umax and here's the way I use it:
(1 Set disc 1 at foil or just below nickels
(2 Set disc 2 at WHERE TABS BREAK UP! You want an ALMOST good signal, but enough breakup to tell it's a tab.
Now, whenever you get a signal in disc 1, go to disc 2 and:
(1 If the signal goes silent, it's in the nickel range:
(2 If the signal breaks up, it's in the tab range: and
(3 If the signal stays, it's in the coins range.

Slingshot,you had two disc on the silver umax?The old version?Anyway slingshot,I really like your plan.And WV62,That is so coolYou got me thinkingHaving this two disc setup is really kind of cool and unique.I am really starting to like this tejon.So sensitive to small targets.As much as i love a vaquero,I really don't think i need one now.If i get a pi now,i will have it covered good.Thanks again.
