zadok Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Is there any actual technical difference between a discrimination mode set to zero and a "true" all metal mode? Garrett has a zero mode on some detectors. Someone said this includes a preset ground balance, but I'm not sure about that! But with or without Garrett, I still have the same question. Is there much difference in performance between all metal and a DISC mode set to zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHNugget Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 With most detectors Im familiar with,discrimination mode requires coil movement (motion),whereas all metal doesnt require motion.All metal usually has the most depth potential.

zadok Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks!1. So motion is required when in "zero mode", even with DISC=0.2. The field tester who wrote to "think of the relic mode on White's MXT as an all metal mode with discrimination" was incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHNugget Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 With the MXT in relic mode,theres a position with the trigger switch that will simulate (if you want to call it that) what is known as "mixed mode",which is the "discrimination" and "all metal" audio channels running at the same time.
