540 Sensitivity ?

When adjusting the sensitivity on the 540 up or down. Does that effect depth up or down ?

It affects depth to a certain degree, but it also affects how smaller items are detected. Higher sensitivity will pick up deeper/larger targets, but will also amplify smaller/shallower targets at the same time.

On my vanquish running at two notches down from max sensitivity I am finding bb sized pieces of lead and other very small targets at 7 inches deep. Prolly better to run less sensitivity for coins or jewelry.

Same here. Only time I max it out is if I'm hunting a clean field. Two from the top seems to be a good medium for most hunting.
