Question about max iron audio.

I think the max is a very deep detecting machine. I find it pulling things out of places that i thought were empty. But it is not a simple machine. I've owned other detectors that would lock on with rock solid vdi numbers. Max rarely does that. So tones are really important. My question is: i detect old railroad watering holes that are covered in rusty tin. So if im in zero mode with iron disc at 35 and i get a high tone and flip iron audio on and the signal is in the middle of iron, do i dig? Or should i move on. There is so much rusty metal, you can't dig it all.
 
Rusty, corroded metal can be tough for any detector. I would dig a few and see what is happening. Then maybe you will need to determine the size of the target before deciding to dig. Look for the sharp, tight responses.
 
because the site dates from about 1860 -1950 there a lot of rusty tin. lots of tin cans. so i guess when you get a high tone in the middle of iron noise you should probably dig. one hole out of 20 may have something interesting in it. lots of prince albert tins.
