[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 628261, member: 3149"] I like threshold, always have, always will, so always use it. Many times when getting a faint but repeatable pull in the threshold I have gone to no threshold, and the signal is never there. Sometimes in Auto 1 the signal starts coming through, but it is often broken and contending with other random noises. Auto 2 with no threshold usually gets them, but the added chatter is not to my liking. Maybe in a less EMI intense area it might be good, but personally I'd still run it with threshold. "[i]does activating the threshold in auto/1 impact the sensitivity or any other setting as I/wife are Threshold detectorists from way back.[/i]" That's a good question. No, having the threshold on or off in Auto doesn't impact the actual internal Sensitivity, Auto does its thing regardless. But, having the threshold there gets your ears closer to the action, so in a sense it does make it a little more sensitive to targets. Re scrubbing the coil I've never been a hard scrubber, more a skimmer. I have always found banging the coil on sticks and rocks a big distraction, and prevents you from having a nice controlled sweep. If the ground is nice and flat, then yeah I will lightly scrub. Old sections of pine forest with a nice thick blanket of pine needles is just great for sliding big coils around! [/QUOTE]
