Fair enough. Thanks. Just goes to show, again, that no one detector or coil combos do it all. I take it too that you are talking about totally detecting previously hammered ground & not out general prospecting for new virgin stuff? That is a different ball game all together.
In the perfect world we would all love a stable, smooth, rock solid threshold. When pushing detectors to their limits, especially on hammered ground trying to squeak out that bit more depth/sensitivity, the threshold is going to suffer. It then becomes a matter of dealing with that but still knowing what the detector/ground is telling you. Bit like Steve's insane high end settings. Not for everybody & obviously not for you but can be the difference in hearing signals among that "noise". The reality of that "noise" is that it just becomes part of the threshold to your ear & your brain/hearing adapts to it almost subconsciously given a bit of time & any target signals stand out.
