Hi Everyone:
For the first six months or so I have been using my detector's standard programs with no modifications--a Coin and Jewelry program mostly, and HiPro and Deep Silver programs on occasion. The point, of course, is to actually become good at using the detector out of the box before I go and mess with a ton of settings and completely screw myself up.
I am a firm believer in the philosophy of "pulling one lever at a time," probably because I have a lot of Engineers in my family. Plus I've read a number of posts here where people change too many settings at once, and end up having to reset back to factory because their programs are no longer effective. So with all of this in mind, I would like as many answers as I can get to this very simple question:
"Knowing what I know now, if I could only adjust ONE setting on my detector and the rest were locked, it would be _____________."
Please know I'm not looking for a quick fix here, and I understand that your answers will vary based on where you hunt, what you hunt, and how you hunt. Along with everyone else, I'm just looking to save some time. And if I start playing with settings, I'd like to start with the ones that can actually make the biggest impact. Thanks in advance!
