Another 50 tone vs. 5 tone question.

[calabash digger]

I get bored with 2 tones or 5 tones...50 tones keeps me entertained ...

I've used all of the tone settings. Depends on where and what I'm hunting. Sometimes 50 tones gets to be too much for me in a modern aluminum trash filled park and I'll switch to 5. Sometimes in really thick iron trash when I'm relic hunting or gold prospecting in a Park or Field mode, I may switch to 2 tones. I usually gold prospect in 1 tone since that is the only setting in the Gold modes. At a saltwater beach in the dry or wet sand I will use 50 or 5. In the surf I may just use 2 if I'm having trouble hearing through wind and wave noise. In a normal area where targets are not packed like sardines, I like 50 tones.......... One way to get used to 50 tones is to notch out any numbers that you probably won't dig and turn it into 40 or 30 tones or even less!

I did try 50 tones, but found it not certain enough on a good target, I.e it would give a few different tones on an obvious good target.
where as 5 tones gets it bang on single tone

this is exactly why I enjoy 50 tones. The variances and nuances of the 50 tones gives me so much more information.

I just don't care for 50 tones, no how no way.

For most city coin hunting hand some trashy Relic hunting sites, I am comfortable with five tones. When I work some places that have a higher percentage of iron discards, two tone seems to serve me the best.

On some detectors I use I opt for three tones because they don't offer five tone. With my Vanquish 540 I enjoy the 5 tone audio.
