Hunting Methods 50CO, Ferrous Coin, both?

[fsdigital12]

Wondering how you guys normally hunt? I've had this a few weeks and still learning.

I loaded up Gonehunting's program as well as a similar 50 Co program.

Lately I've been using Ferrous Coin (GH) and then comparing with 50 Co to check a target. I find myself not digging much as what I'll do is get a high tone in Ferrous Coin, Turn 90 degrees and hear an iron tone, good 2 way hits are not that common. Do you guys check for two way hits before you dig?

In Gone Huntings setting the good signals are almost always good. I have found if using his setting and I get a "iffy" target they re always bad. Haven't been right on a iffy target yet. I still dig just to be sure though. His settings really pay off. You will learn to trust them if you stick with it.

I run in 50CO with ferrous coin. But, it falses substantially more than Combine with ferrous coin (open screen). Only a small percentage of the time do I recover keeper targets in 50CO/ferrous that Combine/ferrous said was iron, but it happens. But I do agree with what Bart said - Combine correctly ID's better than 50CO but it is truly a different beast.

I think I just like the sound of 50CO and that combined with minimal disc in iron helps good targets to stand out. Combine, imo, is meant to be run with an open screen - so you can hear the iron. The danger is audio masking first, and second what I mention above - Combine will give iron signals on some good targets near iron. Separately, you have to have a good ear to hear those clipped signals in iron with Combine - definitely doable, guess I am still adjusting with coming from an E-Trac (but I do love that warble of 50 CO).
