Got to try the Bill_S trashy park ttf pattern today

...and it worked! I've used it a little before but this is the worst conditions i've tried it in. Just spent about an hour on a 100 year old house today. Plan to return. Started with the 13" Ultimate and found a veritable carpet of roofing nails. Switched to the X-5. Still trying to fish through 10+ iron targets per swing. Switched to the trashy park pattern modified for ttf and slowed waaaay down. Pulled a little clad but also four Wheaties including a 1917. Pretty good considering the conditions! Nice to have another tool like that in the old toolbox. The nails were mostly 2 to 3 inches and the older coins around six.

Next trip we think we'll mark off a small area and start pulling all the nails and trash out of the area and see what might be hiding below....
 
Ok please explain to me how you used a TTF program with a screen that is almost completely disc'd out? The purpose of TTF is having an open screen so that you hear the iron beside the good targets. Please explain to me what you did?

If you use a small coil, TTF with a mostly open screen, go super slow, I cant see you missing any conductive targets, unless they are completely covered with iron. I have field sites where the iron is so thick it almost gives me a headache, and this method works perfect.
 
No, the pattern is completely opened up for iron. He posted it a while back. I seem to end up with lots of aluminum trash, brass junk and other non desirable conductive items with just a wide open screen . When I use his modified pattern you hear the low iron but the highs are almost always the coins I'm looking for. There's a thread here somewhere from months ago explaining it. It's done right by me!
 
Good Luck! Post some finds, we are pulling for you, all you gotta do now is dig it!:clapping:
