How many use the Long response setting

[lse450cc]

The manual says that this is a good setting for high trash areas. When targets are very close to each other.Would like to know your opinion of this setting.

The manual says. Well I hunt open screen I would be at the loony farm listing to all that crap in the trash I hunt , however if you use a lot of disc it's not that bad actually very helpful in separating targets.

In the very infested sites the six inch coil and long or smooth tones are a magnificent combination. Myself, I can only handle the tones for short durations. But I have never encountered a detector better at pulling coins out of a patch of thick iron. For the best results you need to run an open screen. Some targets get pulled down in their numbers by the iron. I also like auto sensitivity for this situation. I am more concerned with unmasking than depth. Too much sensitivity creates a headlites in the fog thing. The CTX can do great things in an iron environment if you set it correctly and take your time.

I swear by it. When I first started using it I thought I'd hit the PP button cause the tone was so long and stood out compared to the other chirping sounds. Don't use anything but long tones anymore. Good targets just leap out from the trash to me.

I have tried Long and Smooth; for me it seems that Smooth is as distinctive yet shorter in duration which I prefer in a busy spot. Hard to miss either one on a good target.

Is it possible that a good long response will still end up being a bad target?

Absolutely. Just like any normal tone can end up being junk. The long tone stands out more from the low tones in the iron. It is used to identify high conductors by making the tone last longer than maybe a possible blip in your headphones. You need to investigate further by checking target trace and the signal from multiple directions. It is just a great tool incorporated into the detector. It is not the final answer to masking problems. When in doubt dig it up.
