Nox Disc

Heres one id like to see what others have found.    Today i was playing around on the beach with the Nox.   Havent had much time with it  so i thought id see how the F2 was working.    That got me playing around with disc.    What i noticed in disc ...... as i swung the coil it was knocking out the ferr like it should in disc....... HOWEVER i was getting these -1 and -2 iron blurps occasionally.  I also noticed it knocked out the TID for iron except those digits giving the blurps..... oddly.    Im an AM hunter on the beach.   What i did was ..... turned down the volume to 0 for targets 0 and below.    It seemed to work just like disc...... with two exceptions.   1.. you never got ANY sound from those -1 and -2 targets.   2..... the TID was still reading all the iron targets.    So.......out in the water i went hunting in AM target volume for iron set at 2.   Then id switch and go back...... doing it with disc....... then with iron volume at 0 using AM.   Far less noise from mineral...... but i got the same non-ferr targets just as clear.    I know people have asked if there is a difference between disc iron and turning the volume down to 0.   To me there seems to be some near target ID bleed that can create unwanted noise at that 0 disc point.

Hi Dew

I still hunt in one tone [always will] for many reasons. Clive I believe writes about this to quiet the machine. I have not turned the iron bin down yet because I am still gaining confidence in TID identification [which has not failed me yet].

Sometime during this next hunting season I plan on doing something just like that, however I will try it in disc mode first.  With all the hours I have on the Nox it has not disappointed running in Disc mode. However running AM any where near the water has been a disaster.  I am not so sure going to all metal and turning the iron bin to zero will help at my location. 

Also if I am not interested in digging anything 0 to -9 , I am not so sure what running in AM with the bin turned down will accomplish?  From what I can tell there is no power advantage to all metal?  Has someone found different?
