Threshold settings

[Scooter Profile]

When I increase my threshold just past silent all I hear is erratic sound like EMI . It does this even out in the middle of a field by my self. Is this normal because no matter what I do I can not get a stable tone. Usually if you have an unstable threshold you machine is not set right.

The threshold on the Bliss is more like the sensitivity control on other detectors. This really threw me at first too. You don't get a steady threshold tone, it should be set to just silent. Depending on ground conditions I usually run mine around 4.5 to 6. If it seems too noisy I just back it off a little. Still gets stuff deep.

Thanks Roger, After reading the actual Blisstool manual ( I have a kellyco edition) I thought I was missing something that I was not getting the faint audio hum of the threshold.

No worries Scooter, you will get it. Once you do, things will fall into place. I am still learning this machine too. It seems to be different in some ways, but it is really not. It is just a metal detector with it's own language. All machines are that way.

I usually run the threshold between 4-4.5 and get very good depth. I like to run the machine quiet and stable. Anything at 9" bangs with this machine.
