Greetings, I've been finding fun stuff with my MD during the past week and learning the quirks to keep it from falsing and keeping it steady etc
(apologies if my terminology isn't correct)
One thing I can't figure out with this MD is exactly what do the various "modes" do on the Ace 250? As far as I can tell, regardless of what mode I select, all it actually does is have a pre-selection of discrimination pre-set for you?
For example, when selecting COIN mode, it removes the iron, foil and "pull tab" from the ringer tone, but if I do my own custom mode using those settings, I'm just repeating the coin mode, correct?
In ALL METAL mode, if I discriminate the iron, foil and pull tab, all I've basically done is repeat the COIN mode..
OR is there something else added to one mode that other modes don't have?
Since I'm new to this, I am searching on "all metal" with iron foil removed (no need for more fish hooks) but the gold ring I found on my first day was found on foil notch... weird.. so I basically dig on everything, and cleaning the beach at the same time.. ?!
But do one mode offer anything special over another mode other than preset discrimination?
Cheers
