Been playing with my MXT Pro now for a couple of months and I like more and more each time I use it.
Today I cranked the gain to nearly +3 and turned the threshold down till it went silent. I hunted with this setup for a while, found a few coins and the machine seemed to behave fine. Went to another site close by and it started to chatter some so I turned the gain down some and turned the threshold up a bit to just at silent. Again it acted just fine and found more coins.
When I got home I air tested this setup against my normal setup (gain just past the preset and thresh at low hum) and found it to be a slightly "deeper" .
I prefer the silent searching. Am I missing something by silent searching w/high gain as long as my machine is stable?
