Discrimination vs Iron Audio

[bigfish313]

This is my third year with my AT Pro. I love it!

I have a question.
I always thought that the iron audio cancelled out the discrimination setting for temporary use only (checking a target for iron). In other words, discrimination set to 40 and iron audio on is the same thing as having discrimination set to 00.
Am I wrong?

Thanks!

The easiest way to explain it is........With Iron Audio ON, anything above your Disc. setting will be a MID TONE and below will be an iron grunt. But yes if you set disc all the way to 40 and turn iron audio on you will have the same results as no disc and iron audio off. The best use for iron audio is in heavy iron trash (nails) where most nails read around 15-20....you can set disc to 22 and turn iron audio ON; Now you will get a MID TONE on those larger iron objects or those low conductors (small buttons) that are being "pulled down" (VID#) by all the nails around them. But you still have the benefit of "hearing" the trash if you like. This is a benefit as you can slow down and really work those spots with dense trash. Hope this helps! Also, the Iron Audio works a little different on the AT Gold.

Great answer.
So, do you hunt with iron audio on?
Who else does?

If i am in a spot where iron is very thick i use the above settings with the 5x8 coil.....if not extreme i will run no disc and iron audio off.
