Okay, so I am trying to soak up EVERYTHING and learn all I can. Since I got the "Nox 600, I want to do my best to learn this machine so I can get the most out of it.

As I am reading up on Target ID and the Discrimination Scale, is it basically the same thing?? For example, if you have a penny, will the target ID always be around 23 and the disc scale be at midway? I get the target ID will be the same, that makes sense, but the disc scale? I am not understanding the difference between the two things. Will most trash items be 21-22 and under and on the low end of the disc scale (if you are talking about clad and jewelry type of items)? I have been getting a lot of use out of it the last week and I feel like I am learning a lot. But, this part is still confusing to me. Thanks!

Never mind about this comment, after looking through more posts, I am finding that gold and other coins can come in lower than 21-22. Sooo, yea... :roll:
