Seems to me the newer detectors I have used with a threshold, does not serve the same function as the older detectors.
I use for example the Whites DFX. I used the threshold all the time to help me hear those super deep faint targets. The new detectors I have tried, the threshold just seems to be a background tone you can set the volume of. It doesn't seem to give me the same feel of the ground minerals or put you in fine tune with the tone as the older thresholds did.
The purpose of the older threshold was to set a baseline tone, and that allowed you to hear even the slightest change in the tone, giving you maximum sensitivity & depth. More like all-metal does on today's detectors. The "silent search" popular today I don't feel can give you the same sensitivity the old thresholds did.
Your thoughts.
