Default Cortes Prefered

Hi all
I'm getting my Cortes in a couple of days and was wondering what mode and settings everyone uses for this machine.

I do not run a Cortes but I know it is a nice unit. I hope you get the answer you want, Beale.

Default Cortes

Hi Luv. I have used the Cortes since 2004 and it will always be my main machine. I always GB it but hunt in disc mode with disc with the knob just at the I in foil. It will still find nickels and tabs too but keeps you away from nails and small foil. It has a learning curve but just stick with it. Give it at least 2 months and you will love it. Jeff
