Gary’s sonar program uses 90. But after some time using it 90 seems overwhelmingly too sensitive with shallow iron. If you are in a rocky area that has coke, this program will keep you from being fooled by it with the use of the x/y screen. I use the x/y screen in all my programs. I don’t look at the controller most of the time. If I’m not sure for some reason, the x/y screen gives you an added clue.

New to x/y screen? Basically a straight up and down line is coke. Upper right to bottom left area is non ferrous. Big mess all over, big iron. The longer the line, the shallower or bigger the target. The shorter, the deeper or smaller. A squiggly circle in the center is a deep target that you just need to dig to find out. Of course, digging it all is the only FULL proof method.

Where there’s rocky subsoil, 8 inches deep or less and possible shallow big iron w/ possible coke... this is now my go to program for that situation.

Here’s a video link to a XPTeamUSA rep using Gary’s Sonar program at this past DIV. Buttons and a plate.

Forgot to mention... I started out using tracking... peeked now and then at the GB numbers for a bit and decided to try manual and picked a middle of the road number of 88. Pumping for one would not have worked where I was digging. Tracking works well for me normally.
