the 4th tone makes nickles a higher tone where as 3 tones will make nickles a mid tone

All the same range of coins can be found with either, or anything else for that matter, it is just 4 tones divides it up more than three and adds in that extra tone.
Only 3H and 4H have that high nickel tone...3 and 4 tones do not.
"This selection is similar to 3, but with a fourth medium high tone for targets in the numeric range of 53 to 65."
Indian heads come in this range, not sure what others.

No, 4 tones does not make a nickel sound any different. 4 tone just adds another tone around the zinker range. 4H DOES make a nickel fall into the high tone as does 3H. 3 tones give 3 tones and 4 tones give 4 tones.bigtim1973 said:

I LOVE 4H tones...just love it!
I am a jewelry hunter by choice and will always be in my heart, gold is the metal that gets my heart beating and takes my breath away more than anything else.
I got my F70 the day after Thanksgiving in 2013 and used mostly 4H because it was the most similar to my F2...except for that high nickel tone thing.
On my first 4 hunts and about 10 hours I found many nickels more easily than with any other detector I ever held and I never really had any trouble finding nickels in the past.
I loved the nickels, at least they weren't trash but I was going after gold.
On that 4th hunt in a very trashy spot next to a picnic pavilion at a time when I still didn't really have a handle on the control or power of this thing as yet I came across a mixed signal, a little jumpy but I heard a short, quick high tone in it.
There was a piece of trash next to whatever was throwing off that high tone but by manipulating the coil I realized there were two targets here right next to each other.
I dug it...just 10 hours in with this thing that high tone found me a large white and yellow gold 14k ring, my first gold with my new tool but not my last.
I give all credit to this find to that nickel high tone...I am positive I would have never noticed this ring at the time without it.

My f5 has 4 tones and I've tried using the 4 tone option but found I like the 3 tone better, seems clearer on each tone. Just a personal preference, I don't feel I miss any "OLD" coins with this set up.

I think the IH penny is one old coin that will sound off with the number 3 tone when using 4 tones. Maybe not a good thing, but some screw caps also show up in the #3 tone range of 4 tones. Where as if your were running 3 tones those SC's will sneak in on your high coin tone and I think that makes me dig more SC's than if I were running 4 tones.
I run 4 tones most of the time on my 75 and sometimes I run 4H and try for those nickels.
Also if your disc is set low enough you will not miss any coin, no matter the tone setting.
If you set and think about what you want to find or not find, you can get pretty creative by using tones, disc and notches.
