high tone,top left crosshair

[Anonymous]

after reading last week on here about how it could be benificial to dig signals with a top left crosshair and a high tone i tried it on my next visit out. Guess what,every single one was IRON. I tried everything :tones-ferrous & conduct :iron mask 0 down to -16 : discrim nails etc. No matter what, every time it was a high tone and top left it was iron and yes i did double check my holes. any feedback as to the reason would be appreciated thankyou!

you got high tones on iron on ferrous mode? At any rate can you tell the difference between an iron tone and a coin tone? even though the both might be high, the coins will have a smoother less pingy tone.. that more or less what we mean by a coin at high left.. if it sounds like a coin dig it, if it sounds like iron it probably is.. go by the audio

I belive a good 25% or more of my good coins read on the top left because of nails or other iron beside them. The secret is like Jim says they have to sound like a coin and be repeatable, if not than they are probably nails or other iron. If the crosshairs would read the target you are hearing on the audio it would be great, but it dont untill the threshold returns which by then you have went over the iron object and the crosshair will read the last target which is the iron, but the tone was that of a coin.
Even running ferrous I stll get fooled a bit, but I dont want to miss those coins beside iron.

And most will be iron high left, for me I have never dug a silver coin that pegs high left and stays there but I have dug silver that moves from high left to high right. If it moves from one side to the other as you swing and sounds like a coin you gotta dig it because it could be a coin on edge or next to iron. The biggest thing is the tone, you gotta listen to the tone and know that sound of a silver coin. Most iron will have a higher pitch to it then silver, it's close but there is a difference, for me I listen for that clingy sound. Do this, take a silver dime and tape it to a paper plate, now do the same to a rusty nail or piece of iron, put both on the ground with the items facing the ground so you don't know which plate holds the silver dime. Swing your coil over both plates and try and figure out which one holds the dime, this will help train your ears to the tone of a silver coin. After you start to get the tone down tape a clad dime to a paper plate and do the same thing with all three plates, this helped me a ton when I first got my explorer, you should do this often to get a feel for that silver tone, hope this helps, hh
