CTX settings

I am about as new as they come on the CTX and only used the Sov. Gt fr a while I am new to the setting that are possible on the CTX.
I am currently running 4 tone fe/co and have a fairly good understanding of that.
What I can't seem to grasp is the combined fe/co setting.
I have set up gonehuntings program but I don't have a clue what that does for me and how it affects the reading the machine gets and the difference in the signal I receive.

I never liked doing anything without knowing why I was doing it.

Any info as to why the combined setting works and what different results it produces will be appreciated.

Thanks

take a silver dime, clad dime, quarter, etc and swipe it under the coil....you will hear the difference in tones
 
The way Evan explained it to me is in combined it analyzes both the ferrous and conductive together, comes up with the numbers and puts it in the proper bin.
If I'm wrong, somebody please enlighten me, the minelab manual surely doesn't.
 
The real beauty of combined is that you have the ability to setup "bins" for specific targets and assign each bin it's own tone. Want nickels to sound like silver? Easy. Set up a bin for nickels and assign it a high tone.
 
I appreciate you guys replying
I understand the bins and setting up tones for each one. 4 tone ferrous /coin will do all those things. I have not had a chance to set it up yet but I think I see the 4 tone fe/co combine mode as actually giving you five tones. The ferrous line being set at let's say 24 -50 which also takes in the CO numbers from 1-50 up to ferrous of 24. You assign a tone to that bin and it gives you a tone disc.without the negative affects of normal disc. Then as in normal 4 tone ferrous/coin you set the tones to your liking. So that all comes out to 5 tones.

Like I said I have not set it up yet so I could be completely wrong.
Please correct me if I,m wrong.

Yes you can get a way low tone for the ferrous iron like 25 to 35 ferrous going down on the bottom of your screen, and 4 tones for the bins you set up for the conductive sounds you like from 1 to 50 going left to right across your screen.
