Manual sens is deeper but you'll get fooled on some rusty bolts and such. Worth it when you hit a 10 inch silver though!! Remember set trash to high and ground to difficult.
I prefer the quiet and ID consistency Auto sensitivity brings. I'm lazy and rather skip a few iffy 10" dimes over digging hundreds of pieces of trash.
But my hunting time is limited and patience thin. For me it's getting out and having fun more than the finds.

I would like to comment on this thread.
Recently I have been thinking of this....
Couple weeks ago I did a simple air test.
Oh boy another air test.
Auto+3 gave me a silver dime at 4.5 -5 inches
just changing to manual same silver dime 6-6.5 inches.
Running in Auto and missing deeper targets in my opinion is a fact.
So my thought is get the biggest ideal coil (15x18 SEF) comes to mind and still run in Auto+3 and by having the bigger coil will make up for any loss in depth.
I know you can run in manual higher sens, with the bigger coil, but wouldnt it be nice to run in auto+3 and still pick up a silver at 10" every now and then?

Lol If the ground is clean enough it would. I guess there lies the problem. TRASH! lolWill a coil that big,,,pick up a dime??
Or maybe this is what we all should be running?? Lol
