DFX programs to share?

[nratc]

Just bought a DFX300 after using a 15 yr old Big Bud for 15 yrs nachurlly! I have been using the pre-programed programs so far. I will be hunting mostly trashy areas. Is there any tried and proven home-made programs anyone could share? I'm at a disadvantage with local parks. It's OK to hunt but not OK to dig. Go figger. On my way to the library to look at turn of the century maps to find school house locations, old fairgrounds, camp meeting places etc.

Usually if you turn your AC sensitivity up some that should help you with depth, just dont turn it up too much or you risk the detector going haywire. Also I like ratchet pinpointing because it helps me find exactly where the target is faster. I'm sure there are other things you can do too but I'm not sure exactly what they are. Hope this helps!

If I may suggest what works well for me (although you intended to post elsewhere)...I would say find a program that seems to work well for you, like maybe modify a preset program...and then STICK to it and don't change anything for a long time. I mean unless it's something that doesn't affect the program's behavior, like volume or sensitivity or something which could be adjusted accordingly on site. This way, you'll learn inside and out how the program will react and relay information to you. You'll know the signals so well and be able to determine what's that rusty bit of iron and what's that deep silver dime. You'll know what a nickel is, and what a pulltab is. What a zinc penny is and what a bottle cap is. I gotta run right now but when you think about it, sticking to one thing makes sense. Good luck!

Use tone ID and set the trac off-set to +1 bump your recovery speed and your sweep speed up a little faster. ratchet pinpoint on is good. modulation on is good for deep targets. VCO on for pinpoint helps a lot. Good luck.

I made a nice spreadsheet with different settings including some that were given by other advanced DFX users.

Here is the link. You need a gmail account (it's free) to view it. Or if you want I can email it to you if you send me a private message.
