I have just tested 2 very small targets ( see pic below ) with Tekkna iron volume 7 disc 42 , :
1) a small bronze coin , weight 0.5g . Test OK -Tekkna signal loud and clear , ID 53 , no pb
2) a small piece of lead , weight 1g . Test KO - Tekkna signal broken . ID 41 .
I wouldnt have dug this target.
Conclusion :
Yes disc 42 is a little too high when looking for 1g or less targets made of a low conductivity metal ( lead or gold ).
However both targets sound loud and clear if the disc is lowered below 40 , 35 for example.
I will try 35 in the field next time, it should be ok as we dont have coins below cond 35 over here and I dont want to dig micro targets like shotgun pellets etc ..
