Is there any way to help distinguish iron with the Infinium?

[vlad]

I believe from what I've been reading it comes in with the high conductors [hi-lo? tone]. I'm talking
about using it inland to hunt old sites where the main trash will be nails, or pieces of nails?
My secondary use wound be out in the surf [salt water], any tips?

John-Edmonton is the guru of this detector and what it can do. If you read some of the past post you should be able to gleam plenty of information how this detctor operates.

Iron will show both high-low/low-high. There is an iron check on the Infinium. When you advance the knob in iron check, if the audio disappears or changes considerably, you dig it. If it stays the same, leave it.

Don't count on using the Infinium. It is so sensitive and will constantly give you audio signals, and trying to pinpoint under these conditions is a nightmare.

As John states, cancell that gig. The Infinium would drive you nuts in a site like that.

Vlad,

What is the Ferrous Hound?

I tried the Infinium at a old house/camp in the woods once! after about 1 minute I turned it off and broke out my GTAx550. There were just to many tones, Hi-Li/Lo-Hi one after another you had no idea where to start digging. It is just as John said don't go there.

and the electronics mounts on the detector; it can be run continuously or as needed. Its a magnetometer,
and if if it gives an audio independent of the detector, its iron; if if remains silent it is conductive. Can also be
set up with a meter instead.
Made fore the gold fields of OZ originally, and cost about $500 Do a google search on it.
