Is It As Simple As This? Bill's Trashy Park - Small Coil

[GotSilver?]

Ok All. Given an E-Trac, Small Coil, Bill's Trashy Park Program (Mode Actually)....is it as simple as swinging slowly....listen for the high-tones that still come through and dig ALL of them? Or, dig only the high-tones that hit a certain CO# 30's +??? A couple tips from you veterans that run this way would help me hit the ground running (literally, ha) when I get this in place shortly. Also, is it easier in TTF??? Run it in TTF, dig all high-tones? Please set this rookie straight? You guys are a huge help always...thank you!!!!

My advice may differ from others but here ya go, repeatable tones that don't jump around a lot are worth digging, also listen for that repeatable to null out from different directions. If it nulls at all try and narrow it down to a spot you can see in the grass. After that switch to quick mask with an open screen and watch for the numbers to jump. If you see anything on the ferrous side "first number" jump above 27 then you will almost certainly be listening to iron with a sweet spot on it. Iron will usually jump to 35 ferrous, a coin will never, well almost never. If I say never someone will chime in and say, " we'll there was a time" that "time" would be a one in a thousand. A deep coin with a Etrac will most times still sound good when you go over that spot in the grass very slow. Sounds are very important but so are the numbers and those numbers will tell you it's trash long before you start to hear it. All I can say is if you start out right pulling coins with the Etrac can be extremely enjoyable. It's an awesome machine!

Such good advice. Thanks! So if it bounces on QuickMask - jumps to 35'ish Fe - generally, don't bother, eh? How does it typically read/react if that coin has iron on top of it in the same coil circumference? Would it look/sound bad and typically get skipped? Suppose that's pretty rare though, huh? Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Switching to long tones will help, as most falsing will be chirps like usual, but actual targets will be evident.. I also accept everything below 19 to hear the iron.. Here is some of my parkway finds from the last two weeks..Seated is a 1875...

The pattern was designed to accept from indian head pennies and up. And nickels. I would dig any signal that hit period. If you are in a real trashy area then other targets may fall in the open area but normally there will be a high percentage of coins. I think I have it where it rejects most iron falses too. So just take it out and dig all targets that hit in your open areas. Deeper nickels will not hit real good in the nickel range. So the deeper the nickel the more iffy it may sound but I dig everything in that range anyway. If it even tries to hit in the nickel range and it is deep, dig it.

Bill, I forgot the location of your trashy park mode. Can you please post the link? Thanks.
