My park near my house is trashy. How trashy is it? well once as a test several years ago around the picnic tables along the river I dug a 12 x 12 x 12" cube and found I think a total of 9 pop tops, pull tabs, screw tops and bottle caps. Most were in the layer of dirt down to 6 inches. When you turn on the threshold audio, it sounds like a machine gun going off.
By setting park 1, recovery speed 6-7, and discrim out everything below 26 I pretty much quiet the machine. Sensitivity usually around 16-18. Then I have the option of swinging fast and covering ground faster with the recovery speed at 6-7 or dropping it to 4 and slowing down to get the deeper coins that may not be masked. Using my Coiltek 10 x 5" coil. It really pulls up the clad dirty clad that no others have missed. Vferrari has said on several occasions, that the 800's strength is pulling good targets out that are not necessarily deep that others have missed. So I decided to test out his wisdom and he is correct.
No I am not a big fan of clad, but some days, I don't wish to driver 40 - 60 minutes one way to my civil war relic sites due to the scattered showers that we some times lately have been having for a whole week. Just have this need to go out and find something? Clad, hotwheels, something. Plus you never know. Pulled a silver quarter using this method that other hunters have not found.
