Iron Sound Vs Coin Sound

[earthmansurfer]

I have two clips here: A 5 second long 8" deep small piece of iron and a 5 second long 8" deep coin. They had roughly the same CO number on the screen. I loop the two 3 times, going iron, coin, iron, coin, iron and coin - to hopefully allow you to get a feel for the sound. Very short, 40 seconds total.

Can you hear the difference between them? I can't but that said, iron is often more broken to me and a bit wider. Coins often are smoother and narrow in their peek. I chose two harder targets to differentiate here but I do bet those with particularly good hearing can hear a difference. If not here then perhaps with Headphones on and in the field it would be more noticeable.

Of note, in my video editor, it does show the sound visually, and the two look the same there.

Anyway, try it with your eyes closed ;-)

I think that would be hard for just about anyone to figure out....It very well could be "bleed over" from one to the other.

Thanks for the vid!

I Really Appreciate Your Efforts to Educate

That said, little or no difference in the sounds and in the field with headphones..Forget about it!


On another topic I used TTF in a trashy park today and received a 8/40 high tone and I dug it and received a Barber Dime.

Once again, confusing but i am glad I dug it!

I tried the video several times and the sound cuts out halfway through. Anyone else having the same problem?

YES

But it was short to begin with so I listened to the beginning twice

Sorry guys, not sure why the sound cuts out like that. It just repeats though, nothing new.

I deleted the video and the tried re-running the export from the editor and it still cuts the sound out. Guess it doesn't like me repeating the tracks, must be a bug.

I am a bit shocked that iron can sound so much like a coin in many situations though.
