(Huge iron objects can still low tone with very little discrimination settings depending on how
they are positioned in the ground so bare this in mind)
If the item was to say a six inch rusty nail or iron of the equivalent size then you maybe able to
reduce the discrimination more depending on how it sounded of in the first point.
You're trying to achieve a point of discrimination so you can judge and understand what's a
ferrous target without hearing a predominately low tone, placing the Vista X into all metal
also can help to separate targets via heating a split in the audio, in return of signal
understanding you'll retrieve the best possible audio on non ferrous targets and the best
possible recovery speed in Discrimination ode.
Certain non ferrous items can be a little awkward to identify when running very little
discrimination but overtime of using the Vista X your understanding of the audio will grow.
You have to keep digging many different kind of signals to build up your understanding of
what the audio is telling you.
The more time over days, weeks and months by taking the time to dig and investigate the
whole spectrum of audio signals will increase your understanding of the Vista X in general
without a doubt, place in the field time and the Vista X will reward you when the finds are
there even in some awkward detecting conditions.
(The use of Alternative Discrimination)
Depending on your hunting needs around the globe you can either use this second
Discrimination option or leave it alone.
Some people may want to dig ferrous and non ferrous items from the ground so for them all
metal mode would be the only way they wish to hunt, others may wish to use just the lower
main discrimination setup as they wish to maximise their chances whilst running a
Discrimination ode.
But for some detectorist wish to be a little more selective on what items they wish to dig so this
is where the alternative Discrimination will come into effective use.
To keep things simple let's say you live in Great Britain and you wish to dig all non ferrous
items but you wish to discriminate out coke, you would set your alternative discrimination to
the point it will give a low tone when coke its detected, so you set your main discrimination to
eliminate ferrous items and your alternative discrimination to eliminate coke, when you find a
non ferrous item you push the toggle switch forward into alternative discrimination, you then
listen to how the target is a now ? is it giving a low tone or a high tone, if a low tone this item
could well be coke due to this is what you've set your alternative discrimination to eliminate.
But! you have to understand that there could be other non ferrous items with the similar
conductivity as coke.
