Greetings
In BottleCapKing's post #21 located at > Detectors and Gear > All About Detectors >Thread by Dsparil Titled:Gain , BCK says "When you increase sensitivity, you are lowering that threshold. When you decrease Sensitivity, you are raising the threshold."
The attached graphic image should help to clarify BCK's above statement.
I'm curious to know if the affect on Threshold, as described in quotes above, is common to most metal detectors that have a manual Sensitivity control.
Sans having the technical knowledge of many metal detector brands and models, I assume it might be possible to come to a fair conclusion with empirical evidence, gained from experimenting with a sample lot of different metal detectors, increasing/decreasing the Sens. and noting the affect on metal targets buried at different depths in the ground.
Hopefully there are a few knowledgeable detectorists out there who feel qualified to answer my implicit question in paragraph three.
in advance for your comments !
