low disc as high gain as possible without it going nuts, toggle in the middle since he's a beginner, relic hunting stuff can fall anywhere in conductivity thats why i say low disc, very simple yet effective machine, good luck

Select relic mode and disc up at 2-3. Dig repeatable high tones!

Found one enfield and a eagle coat button but it was from the 6th calvary that trained by Chickamauga. Good area and I enjoy getting the 6th calvary stuff anyways. Button was in great shape.

I would agree with the others, run as low disc as possible, he might pass up on a few of the shorter iron readings if he is digging a lot of nails, but don't pass on the higher readings or larger iron ones. First time I relic hunted I set my disc to basically zilch and dug CW fragments that other folks walked over. I dug a lot that day as a result also.
