I finally found a graphic illustration to show why a threshold based all-metal mode is import to <b>ME</b>, and some other metal detectorists. (I found it in the operations manual from one of Minelabs detectors.)
I hope this will help show the importance (perceived or otherwise) of having a threshold control knob while detecting in a threshold based all-metal mode. In this type of all-metal mode there is not going to be any kind of tone ID or variations of tone, but only one single tone that responds to any targets detected by rising in audio threshold volume.
<i><b>However</i></b>, some of the zero discrimination modes out there in some detectors MAY have a threshold tone, but the ATR (audio target response) is usually a separate signal that BEEPs and rises above the constant threshold that remains steady, and this is a different subject entirely. Confusion usually begins at this point.
I realize many of you reading this may indeed be confused and require more explanation, but this post is <b>not intended</b> to teach or instruct those not familiar with all-metal modes. This post is simply to press the point of how important the threshold based all-metal mode is to <u>SOME</u> of us out there in the metal detecting community. Those of you that hunt in all-metal mode will see the point I am making here.
