Deep Coins and IRON Settings

Here are settings that will work nice for some users when searching for deep coin and jewelry mixed in with iron.

There are times when I like to use all metal detecting. I will work an area and clear the trash. I dig the strong target up and remove them so have some pretty clean ground other than the deeper ones. That is when I like to use all metal detecting and tones to pick the deeper ones out to investigate more closely. There are a couple versions of all metal or at least close to all metal detecting that you may find of interest.

All Metal with ALL ICONS

Go to the menu and clear the screen.
Select all ICONS to be accepted. (Be sure to select the ones for trash.)
Select Ferrous Sounds.
Select Audio1
Audio Gain to 10
Threshold tone to as low as it will go.
Set the Limit and Variability to 3 tones. Use a piece of iron, a nickel and a quarter.
Set the Sensitivity as high as possible with stability. Use Manual or Semi-auto.

Iron will cause a very low growl and will be indicated by an ICON for Nail/Screw. The digital reading will be 31/31, 31/28, down to 31/0. Steel hits at 30/31 and at various levels of Conductive readings and into the ferrous 29, 28 regions. Other metals, alloys, hit in the areas between this and ferrous to about 17. Nickels hit in the ferrous readings of 11/2, 11/3, 11/4, 10/2. 10/3 areas as do thin gold rings.

Listen for a high tone that is mixed with a low tone. A dime that is located it the matrix in a way that it is next to iron will have a high tone mixed with a low one. This has a wavering sound and is enhanced with Audio1. Audio1 will ID deeper than Normal so look for ICONS for COINS, and Digital reading for coins mixed with digital reading for iron and steel.

This is how we can pick coins and jewelry from deep iron. We can literally spend all day around a large tree probing those deep targets. It can be very rewarding if we are willing to spend the time it takes. There is a constant threshold and if there are so many iron hits that it is more than one can put up with then do this. Adjust the Audio Gain to 6 - 4 so the audio is modulated more. With a good set of headphones it is very easy to listen for the quieter high tones mixed in with low ones. Low tones sound lower simply because they are lower than the high tones which sound louder. Our hearing is non linear and low tones sound as if the have less volume if we are listening for high and low tones mixed together. If you like DEEP on then be aware that surface bits of trash will cause ticking sounds which is more noticeable if you scrub the coil. Use FAST OFF so the electronics has time to analyze the target better and we also get a nice long high zip on deeper coins. I search in Digital using the tones to generate a
 
Hear is a modified clear screen that I like to use with the above program. This makes a great basic program that I use all the time. I can switch between Ferrous and Conductive sounds and with the highest tone always being in the silver and copper zone. I know when I hear a high tone if there is no Nail ICON in Conductive that I have a very good hit. In ferrous the highest tones tell me the same thing and I have a low tone for nails.
 
Cody - Set up my screen similar to the one shown, turned down threshold tone, gain at 4 then went out to a yard I have "hunted out" and found a 1928 Quarter. If it ever rains here I'll be trying it out some more. Thanks
