I am actually wondering what the use of the discriminate mode on any MD would actually be other than a way to miss a lot of things.
As we all know it is a crap shoot every time we dig, and as much as discriminate mode can SOMETIMES identify a coin it is still a guessing game and worse yet gold rings and coins can ring in as iron!
I read that a lot of people always search in all metal mode because of this and thinking the ONLY features needed on a good detector are:
1. ability to identify type of metal
2. pinpointing ability
3. ground balance adjustment
4. and a depth gage could be useful
Outside of this, coin identifying displays, discrimination adjustments, and notching seem counter productive to have on a MD.
I'd like to see a high quality MD that had the 4 features WITHOUT money wasted selective discrimination features (analog or digital)
And why don't they make em rain proof, not submersible as such but weather proof seeing as they are outside use devices...
Anyone else
