Yes this is normal. I'm sure someone else can explain in more detail for you.

Russ this is normal, they were just rounding of the numbers in the manual.

Ok cool thanks I thought the machine need calibration or something.. I'm a newbie to this machine... I took it out today for the first time and I was like hell 2000 for a machine that finds all the rusty bottlecaps . I called the place I bought it from and he told me to turn the silencer up to four.. then I started finding coins.

If your hunting coins in 12k or 8k (best all around frequencys) you can check for a ID number drop by using the 4k frequency.
ID will show much lower number at 4k than eight or 12 on a good (coin) target and not change much on bottle cap.

All of this assumes you do NOT have ID normalized and does not work as reliable on very deep targets. (Dig all good sounding deep targets regardless of ID)

You can make and save new program using lower frequency or just change as needed.
Try this out in test garden, it works for me!

I prefer this method to increasing silencer.

Do the drag back method on suspected caps. If the audio goes to crap right before it falls off the front of the coil. Good chance its a BC! I dont prefer high settings on the silencer.
