Ferrous Numbers in GC/FC

Is it me or does FC/GC give off good FE numbers more often?

I was out hunting today and was digging a junk target that I couldn't pinpoint...that should have been the clue right there.

I was getting 12-46 Solid @ 4 inches in FC/GC coin in open screen, same result with discriminiation

Switch to stock coin and I was getting 08-46, 09-46,10-46 jumhpy FE VDI

switch back to FC and GC....12-46 solid every single time.

Target was a piece of junk metal, about the size of a match book.
 
did ya check it a secound time after you got the iron out ???/,,, ahhhh stupid ???? of course you did,,,,
 
If you have your tone set low on iron, were you hearing a low tone. If so look and see where the target is indicating on your screen. In fc/GC you can often get a good number target but see the target location is way down on your screen. It's iron.

I set mine up so that iron is low, rings a little higher, penny and up next to high and dime and up high tone. I just listen for the high tone to find my target. I like target trace and the ctx can track multiple targets. It the good number shows and the target trace is filling in a coin range and iron I dig. There is silver left behind next to iron that other machines miss.

Coins don't usually give me a "jumpy" FE number, unless there is something else in the hole. Coins, being round and not irregular shaped, typically give me a solid FE number. But depending on how "flat" or deep they are, they can bounce around on the CO scale. When you say you were using FC/GC..... those are two different separation modes. Were you toggling back and forth between them? Or were you doing something different? HH Randy
 
I was switching back and forth from stock coin to Ferrous Coin/Ground Coin with open discrimination


FC/GC gave 12-46

Stock Coin, FE numbers were jumpy
 
I'm still stumped by what you mean by Ferrous Coin/Ground Coin as they are two entirely different separation settings and can't be used at the same time?? HH Randy
