All Metal mode provides full target response because the Racer is not filtering any targets, so it's ideal for open fields, plowed ground, or relic sites where you want to dig everything and sort targets by hand. Discrimination mode filters targets while maintaining good depth, making it better for trashy parks, school yards, or high-traffic areas where you need to reject iron nails, pull-tabs, and foil to avoid digging junk all day. We switch between modes depending on site density. In a clean field, All Metal with audio threshold lets you hear faint deep targets. In a park with bottle caps every two feet, Discrimination mode saves time.
