have you tried out all metal mode? I have yet to find a detector that wont occasionally hit on those old square nails with high copper content. But in all metal i can usually tell the difference
 

This what I am going to try next

6" COIL
park 2
All metal mode on
2 tone
ferrous set to 0
sensitivity 15
recovery 7/8
IRon bias 1/2

Also try Field 2 with similar settings if Park 2 does not work out to your satisfaction. You may be able to bump sens to 17-18
 

I appreciate everyone who commented on this post that really helps me out. You guys are the best
 

I find Field 2 to be less "harsh" sounding vs. Park 2 and prefer it (perhaps the higher Park 2 iron volume, 12 vs. 4). I think performance wise they are very similar with a slight depth edge to Park 2 with the lower recovery speed (6 vs. 7)

If I find I want to hear less falsing then I go and get the Deus

I like them both. I am not sure there is anywhere on land where i prefer one over the other. Wet salt beach and surf, however, no contest...Equinox. Deus is a falsing nightmare there.

Ive made some great finds with both on land but prefer Deus there as it is a bit less harsh in thick iron and lighter too. Ive recently made some great finds in the water with the Nox where Deus is a no go. Best two machines for my money right now for my uses imo unless your sole focus is deep modern silver in parks then maybe Minelab FBS for that.
