Steve Herschbach Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Park 1 is my go to setting for just about everything except nugget hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudamark Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Your results are interesting. I did the same sort of tests and found that Field 2 was the most sensitive for tiny gold and platinum.....except for the Gold modes. I have an 18K tiny link tennis bracelet that reads 1 in Field 2, and silent in all other modes except Gold 1 and 2. This is with the horseshoe on (my typical setting) so I get all the iron tones too. Like Steve, I hunt in Park 1 (along with 50 tones) for almost all my land detecting. If I'm asked to find a tiny gold item, I'll switch to Field 2 or the Gold modes if necessary. Park 1 just seems to be more stable and gets the best depth in my uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
