Safari owners - Does running in auto sensitivity hurt depth?

[njnydigger]

I saw this mentioned briefly in another thread. Just wanted to get other opinions about this. Since I am new to the Minelab line, I'm using my Safari only in the pre-set modes right now (mainly coin & jewelry). So, DOES running in auto sensitivity make one lose a lot of depth?

Also, do any of you have any numbers - even approximate - on how much more depth is added when in all metal versus the pre-set's? Is it MUCH more substantial in all metal (say 3 or 4 inches), or, maybe just an inch or so??

Reason I'm asking, I going to be hitting a very old park here in NJ. I want to squeeze out enough depth to get some of those golden oldies. As we all know, an extra inch or two in this game can be like a mile

Think I have the tones down ENOUGH for now to deal with the symphony of music I am predicting. However, I don't have a choice. In an older spot, I pretty much dig anything anyways.

Appreciate your two cents - pun intended

I honestly think if it did, it is minute.
If I run in manual, I find it get's chattery.
I dig some pretty good finds in auto sens.

It can because you never know how low it is adjusting down. But there's far more important things than worrying about that.

Im not sure if you gain depth or not...but you will gain finds in all metal....at least I have......I dont even run my safari with anything notched out.
