I do exactly the same, go all metal mode, turn down the discrim and listen to all the machine gun chatter to pull out the tougher targets.
    Congrats.

    Thanks for the info on how to hit the trashy areas. The TR came with a 4" nugget coil but I have never used it but only to try it on the machine when I first got it. I never carry it around with me, though. It's home sitting in a drawer. So far the trash pits I fount I had my 9.5x5.5 (which I use normally) and I could hear the machine gun chatter. Yeah, I know the DD isn't the same as a 4" CC, or the 5"DD that NEL makes. I kinda hear the iron when it's discriminated out. I just avoided the spot like the plague.
    It'd probably be worth a hit with a smaller coil. If there's old "trash" there's a good chance of old treasure! HH!
