here is my second day finds at the old farmstead. 76 cents in clad. Nothing all that great. I am running my Garrett at pro at discrimination 30 (out of 40) and have my sensitivity at about half power. Do these settings sound about correct?

I normally run discrimination at 40 and Sensitivity down two bars from max, and have iron audio on.

I run 28 on discrim and normal or up one on sensitivity. If I get a marginal target I might put sensitivity up to the top for a check. Iron audio on if I'm looking for deepies in a clean area, for sure. Otherwise it gets turned off and on a lot and keeping it off will save battery, obviously.
40 will leave some keepers in the ground, imo.

Good job, nice to see all the different things you found. I've been finding a lot of the mason jar lids at my old homesite, must have made a ton of those, but great to find, especially when they are whole.

I was going to run the whole yard at previous setting and then rerun it at full sensitivity. I hate digging those big holes though
