My Settings
86
When people ask what settings I use, I generally tell them that
they should adjust their detector for their site, using the procedure
I’ve outlined in this book. Then I tell them I hunt in All Metal, (zero
discrimination), with Multiple Tones. All Metal allows you to hear every
metallic target the coil passes over. But if I had to pick one specic
setting, I would chose to hunt in a Discrimination Pattern with all the
notches set to accept. I refer to this as zero discrimination because it is a
Discrimination Pattern that is not rejecting any notch segments.

Reason one...
Running in a Discrimination Pattern with zero discrimination more
accurately identies deep iron as a ferrous target, compared to the
All Metal. In other words, deep iron gives fewer +48 signals in a zero
Discrimination Pattern than it does in the All Metal. Again, I believe this
reinforces my circular discrimination theory mentioned previously, as
properties assigned to a specic notch segment are the only target
properties you will detect.
I like using zero discrimination in a Pattern for two reasons:
