My preference with an ED-120 Disc. range Tesoro. August 26, 2019 11:16AM |

I use an absolute minimum Disc. setting on all of my Tesoro's w/ED-120 Disc. I never increase it from the 'minimum' Disc. setting because that would be the most functional setting to try and separate Ferrous (usually Unwanted) targets from Non-Ferrous (the Desired target range) targets.Quote

I was wondering what you longtime 120 disc. Tesoro guys set your disc. at hunting in iron?
On a Tesoro with the ED-120 Discrimination circuitry, a 'minimum' Discrimination setting is very close to the Iron and Non-Iron break-point. I'd forget the labeled setting on an ED-120 circuitry if they use the term 'Iron.' We are referring to motion-based Discriminators which differ from the good old standard TR-Disc. designs that did a much cleaner job of rejecting most problem ferrous junk. Our modern, motion-based, ground cancelling devices that are trying to reject the ground signal as well as trash-target signals from pesky man-made trash, such as Bottle Caps, round washers and other challenging magnetic-metal objects which make us have to deal with the errant responses from some problem trash.Quote

Do you totally disc. out iron?
On an ED-120 Disc. circuitry, a 'minimum' Disc. setting is generally going to knock out most common iron trash, such as bobby pins or nails and other wire-iron as well as a lot of the other less-conductive iron. Trying to adjust the Discrimination to handle targets that cause a signal to "break-up" might easily leave you with too much rejection and miss some desired, low-conductivity targets. That also means it would increase good-target masking in a dense iron contaminated site.Quote
Harold,ILL
Or set it where it breaks up?
Here we have a difference because you have the Golden µMAX which, like a few of the latter Tesoro models, does not use an ED-120 Disc. circuitry. There were some that used an ED-180 Discriminate design, such as the last Eldorado in the µMAX housing, and that meant a minimum Disc. setting Accepted ALL metal targets to include Iron and Non-Iron. You would need to adjust the Disc. level up to try and match the rejection point of something like a Bandido or Silver Sabre to get comparable iron-target rejection.Quote
Harold,ILL
Or in My case with the Golden uMax just leave it at 0 setting and let the tones tell you what do dig?

Harold, good question and a simple answer ... NO. The Pantera is NOT an ED-165 range of Acceptance and is considered one of the Tesoro models labeled as having the ED-120 Disc. circuitry. The Pantera essentially does have the ED-120 circuitry and the performance like most of the other ED-120 Disc. models, but technically, it is just very close to thatQuote
Harold,ILL
Monte, Is the Pantera also a ED-165 Disc.?
