I've been reading about using Beach Mode on land recently. Gave it a shot on the park that I cut my detecting teeth on. I've gone over this particular park dozens of times with 3 different machines. I was able to sqeak out an old merc with this set up. Give it a try.
Beach Mode
Noise Cancel
Manual Ground Balance
Volume 25
50 Tones t1 1, t2 20
Nothing notched out, Horseshoe button ON
Speed 4
Iron Bias Fe 4
Sensitivity 24
The merc was repeatable 2 ways, faint, ID bounced from 25 to 29. It was easily 9 inches, maybe a bit more.
With the Horseshoe button ON (depending on the site) you will hear a lot of iron, but I've grown accustomed to all noise. If I do get tired of it, I'll turn it OFF, but then turn up the threshold volume and listen for nulls to alert me of an area with a lot of iron. If I hear that, I slow WAY down and listen for faint high tones.
I need more time in the field with Beach Mode, but thought someone might want to give it a try.
