High Ferrous Tones Question

D

New member
I relic hunt mainly in open screen TTF, +3 sensitivity and my question is this. Do you ignore the high ferrous tones or will you get surprised if you start digging them? In my experience the low ferrous tones are always iron but the deeper high tones are suspect. Some of the high ferrous tones revert to low ferrous after I scrape a few inches of leaves and soil off, and around cellar holes there are a lot of these. My goal is to minimize wasted time. My soil conditions are low to medium mineralization.

Any suggestions?

please could you confirm what you mean by low ferrous tones are always iron are you talking about the number 1 line as it is better to discrim this out up to 1.36 and then 1.48 to 1.50 the reason for this is that the iron will false round from the 35 mark to 1 and give you that high tone if you mean low ferrous readings as in 11 12 13 well they are the best readings so please can you confirm and then help will be on its way lol

Sorry for the confusion. By low ferrous tones I meant in the 12, 13, 14 range.

hi paul do you work with a pinpointer please note that i am not the technical person on here but it seems to me that if you are getting 12,13,14 ferrous id and getting iron then you are missing the good target which should be down there as well these numbers will give you a high tone in two tone ferrous and have nearly always produced my absolute best finds do you always sweep back over the hole when you have got your piece of iron out sorry for these questions but really dont want you to be missing anything talk soon h
 
I have this figured out. I'm experiencing iron wrap around and have solved it through discrimination settings.

Thanks,
Paul
