[QUOTE="Muza, post: 496910, member: 15394"] "Custom" is primarily used for coins and basic treasure hunting, it enables you to use notch discrimination which *could* potentially miss gold targets. Its better used for finding iron in my opinion. "Zero" mode is similar to "All Metal" mode in that it will pick up all metals but wont constantly beep and carry on and will only alert you to a decent target. One thing i forgot to add (its been a while) is run the threshold on "0" or at a stretch "+1". This will also help in not missing targets because the threshold can sometimes mask faint signals. The machine is really good for any target really, providing that it isn't too deep. -Just something to think about: As far as gold goes, from what i understand VLF technology was the first to come out (Early 70's?), and so every man and his dog had one. They had basically been out over all of the known gold bearing areas and cleaned out most of the shallow stuff. Then in 1995 along came Pulse Induction which could break past the depth barriers that the VLF had succumb to, getting down a lot deeper. [/QUOTE]
