multi help please

[3RINGER]

As some of you know I've been running in 2 or 4 tone depending on the type of hunting I was doing at the time..add the fact that it was new to me (Multi Tone) and I did not want to to just jump into that part of the ET. Over the past 5 or 6 months I've hunted with the ET I've made some great finds in areas that I always thought to be hunted out, but you've heard all those stories a thousand times from me and others.

My Q to the ones that use it is, What diff. does the multi play, Should the good targets be sharp and clear or a little worble to the front and rear with trash in the area? It seems as though the test I've done with it are not the same as out in the field. I've been trying it and due to few good targets in the area I guess I'm doubting myself and the use of Multi Tone.

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

HH to you all!

Hi 3Ringer i had a similar question a couple of post below yours. I have only a week and started in Multi tone .
After some in house testing i saw coins hit harder in 4 tone and less # bounce than Multi tone . Also tonight in a field
But a lot of people hunt in Multi so there must be a reason HH Mike

It would have to do with being able to tell the size of a target in the ground mostly by being able to see at what points while running the coil over the ground back and forth you received the tones. I use it to let me know if the target might have a ragged or broken sounding tone telling me it is more than likely not a coin or ring. If it is gargled/ragged sounding most of the time I will not dig it as the flutey tone will not be repeated as you move around a target checking it out, just keep walking and detecting when it's like that. It is a work in progress for me still but works very well. I've about got it down to letting me know a pull tab or a crown cap from a bottle screw cap. Keep at it and you'll know when you have a good target or not real soon by the good repeatable sounds. Repeatable being the key. Good luck!

Multi-Tones gives you alot more info about targets than the 3 or 4 tones. This becomes very evident when you come across co-located targets. Many times a lower conductive signal that is co-located in close proximity of a coin or other high conductive will degrade or over-ride the signal of the high conductive to the lower tone of the lower conductive. With the multi tones you will clearly hear both targets. I also find that deep nails are easier to identify in the multi-tones because they sound very mono-tone and require alot of effort to try and make the signal repeatable from multiple directions and alot of times the signal if you can make it repeat will have an entirely different tonal signature from each different direction. A deep coin will almost always present a high conductive signal that will repeat from several directions and in cases with the target co-located with trash will still give the high flutey tone even if there is another lower or trash tone ringing in concert with the good tone. You definitely cannot expect to hear this in 3 or 4 tone.
3-4 tone compared to multi-tone--- to my ear is like the difference in mono and stereo. You know how stereo speakers will pan different sounds to different speakers this is about the best way I can describe how multi-tones separate the sounds.

Thanks for the info, I think that I was second guessing myself. I'll keep at it with what you said in mind and see what comes out of the ground.

Sorry bud just had enough time to post the Q last night, but as you can see these guys are more than willing to help. Hope their answers helps you as well. Keep with it and you will have some great finds with the ET. I opted to start out in 2 and 4 tone so that I could learn the machine better before jumping to Multi. After 5 or 6 mounths I now feel that learning the multi tone is needed to get even more from the machine. good luck
