When I am only after coins and jewerly I first Ground balance on clean ground so I am not picking up buried targets. I then lay down some different coins couple pull tabs and of course couple gold rings. I turn the first disc setting to block out foil and make sure I can hear the rest of the items. I then turn up the second disc setting to block out the pull tabs and gold rings. I like the VCO turned on so the signal increases in pitch and volume as I get near the target.

I search in normal disc mode till I get a signal and switch to the second disc level to see if it still sounds off. If it does it is probably a coin. If not it is a ring or pull tab mostly. I check the disc setting once in awhile to make sure nothing changed with the ground.
 

I dont know much about it but I have one and love it bro.... All I know is if it beeps, I dig it.... LOL...
 

Around cellar holes I'll set my disc at foil and the alt disc at tab. I have noticed that pewter and tombac buttons hit between foil and nickle. That's why I don't set my disc any higher than foil.

If I'm looking to dig everything with no discrimination and the site is not trashy then I'll switch to all metal with the threshold hum audible. This is where the Tejon really performs and gets it's depth and sensitivity. You may need to adjust the ground balance from time to time. I also use vco.

Good information. So far I tried it out on my property hopen for something old but no luck. I did find a melted silver cross and lots of can slaw. There is going to be a learning curve from the vaquero but I can tell this machine goes deep for sure and loves tiny items. I had a spot picked out and then the snow came ..... A week off work and it snows almost a foot. For the birds.
