OK so I got out for 2 hunts. 1 hour represents the few coins behind the ring. 1.5 hr is the Silver dime and the coins with it. FBS 800 coil Sens Man 24, Conductive, IM 22
I feel after running in Manual Sensitivity that the machine is better than in Semi Auto. I did get a couple "troubled" coins. One of the clad dimes came from a patch off the front porch that is so bad you get Iron hits every Inch or 2. (at best) I have gone over that 2' by 6' spot 3x with the Xterra and now 3x with the SE, crawling every time and back n forth and different directions. Some of the other coins were in a bed of nails, although not directly underneath any. The Silver Dime came with a tone that made me think Nickel East to West and had a little higher tone North to South. After pulling that coin and re sweeping the hole there was a very low tone left that did not enter the good area in the Smartfind screen. and Iron 4 to 6 inches away in several directions. All of the coins came from ground previously covered by either Xterra or Explorer. Hmmmm I also run the Xterra in Automatic Ground Tracking, but that is a whole nother conversation.
I believe that running with the Sens in Manual it may cause the machine stop searching for a lower setting, Which MAY cause the machine to become underpowered and loose significant depth.
Just my theory. The results will cause me to only run in Manual Sensitivity.

P.S. The clad dime is the only coin that I got out of that patch by the front porch. I am going to run a little less sensitivity and hit that spot again. OH YEAH I dug a TON of iffy and super iffy signals just for kicks and giggles. Most were bent or super rusty or roofing nails or nuts and washers, of various metals.
