I notice that many detectors seem to use a target scale of 0-99.

My Discovery 3300 has a scale of 0-199.

It seems like something out of the movie This Is Spinal Tap where the salesman pitches an amplifier that goes up to !!.

Here's the short clip:

So are more numbers better or just a gimmick?

Here is a photo of the Target Readout of my machine taken from the owner's manual.

Note that 91-104 are not listed. I have to wonder if this is some kind of Deep State exclusion.

Perhaps the Holy Grail, The One Ring from Lord of the Rings, or the Excalibur sword ring up in this range and SOMEONE doesn't want them found!
