What mode should I hunt

I have a old school house to hunt tomorrow. I have the DFX and I was wondering what mode should I hunt in. Coins or Relic.....Matt

Why not try both, see which works better for you? Or, work the same area in both modes and see what the difference is?

Well, let's see . . .

If it's an elementary school, set it to low mode.
If it's a middle school, set it to about the middle, and
if it's a high school, set it to high.


Oh, I KNOW it's a "groaner," but I just cannot help myself!
