    i rarely have it cranked all the way up. i normally play with and adjust it
    depending on the site and amount of trash and nearby interfering objects
    if at a play ground or whatever.

    Re: metal detecting

    thats a hard question to answer since soil conditions kind of dictate how high i can set it. ideally,i will crank it all the way up if i can,but if the machine starts to chatter and give false signals i will back it down untill it just becomes stable.

    I use my machines AUTO Sensitivity unless I get false readings or a lot of chatter then I turnn it down until I get good readings.

    Yep but have a high tolerance but no threshold. Actually sens. set just below chatter.

    I put mine almost all the way up, or if batteries are low all the way up.

    Every trip mine is maxed out. Also have the rest of the dfx maxed out accept for the block edit disc edit. I take -40 through plus 95. Anything else your running way to hot and will be digging iron 15 inches deep.
