it has 5 settings for the high tone...sort of a low Hz Tone on 1 and as you go up it gets higher in Hz..
5 being the highest..
now tone 4 eliminates the iron tone..so its a basically anything rejected by disc in that 4 setting is nulled out or not reported...its a single tone unit there..
so its really I guess you can say a 4 variable tone unit for the high tone setting..
the machines coils are waterproof..the small coil is solid epoxy...the stock 5x10 is hollow ..
I suppose your stream would be in inches though instead of feet?

Yes, I doubt would ever be more than a foot deep. M

Changing settings is slower than say a Makro Racer, but here's the good part.
The ground balance can checked or reground balanced--- no need to look at the side of the display or push any buttons there.
As long as you don't make a tone process change or disc settimg change-- no real aggravation noted IMO.
This design btw I found to be very comfortable and more balanced than most other detector setups.
It would probably be a fair statement--- a new user at first it may feel a bit awkward with the controls on the side, BUT after a person learns what works and how they want to set the detector up,to detect---- they will actually feel very comfortable and will enjoy such a setup.
