The AT Pro's 40-level iron discrimination plus proportional Pro Audio lets us hear the size and depth of a target through tone, so we can ignore short, stuttering iron grunts and dig the clean, repeating mid-tones. We run PRO mode with a custom discrimination pattern, iron discrimination set between 25 and 35, sensitivity at 6 to 7, and manual ground balance before each hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePark and Schoolyard Coin Shooting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern parks are full of pull tabs, foil, and bottle caps sitting between us and the silver. The PRO mode plus the Coins discrimination pattern reads conductivity tightly enough to cherry-pick the coin signals while letting tabs and caps return as muted, broken tones. We set iron discrimination to 35, sensitivity to 7 or 8, and let the auto ground balance handle the mineralization.
