ok i dont even have a md but i have heard that tuning your detector is as easy as swiping a nickle. and raising the descrimination until it stops beeping. then lower the disc until it just barely gets the nickle.

now most of the trash is suposedly eliminated while gold and silver and clad are still registered.

is this correct??

no, Not Quite.

Change "while gold" to

"While some Gold & Newer Nickels"

Unless you use a Shield Nickel.

Then you can just say "WHILE SOME GOLD"

Here's a little scale I made up. I use the nickel trick on my Musky with a Buffalo nickel I carry.

If you want white gold and nickel silver (German silver) you're going to have to dig a lot of junk or get a detector with range masking.
