Is it accurate to say; if in the discrim mode with 0 discrim setting, one tone, is basically all metal? Or even 0 discrim setting w/ more than one tone? I say it is but I may be overlooking something.

Most metal detectors (yes, especially Fisher) has a artificially created tone for the ID mode.......but the all-metal mode is more-so 'raw-data'.

The LTD does indeed have a 'boost' mode....but can only be ascertained by putting the ID mode into the 'boost-process' ('bp') mode,,, or in the (cl) mode.....then switching the unit back over to the all-metal mode. You would then have a 'boosted' all-metal mode.]]> NASA-Tom Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:27:26 +0000 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6375#msg-6375 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6375#msg-6375
This IS using a regular F75 not the LTD. Does the LTD really give an extra boost in all metal mode?

Can I assume you're talking about any Fisher model when it comes to the all metal mode?

The 'audio boost' you're talking about, is that while using the discrimination modes?
Assuming the sensitivity setting is the same between the all metal and discrimination mode, does the AM or disc mode see more ground over the other or do they see the same about of soil?
In other words, does one mode have an advantage over the other when it comes to covering more ground with a sweep of the coil?]]> markg Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:46:17 +0000 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6364#msg-6364 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6364#msg-6364 NASA-Tom Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:47:29 +0000 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6353#msg-6353 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,6294,6353#msg-6353 Dan-Pa.
