Question about TTF tones :please:

[elki1052]

Hi All.
I have a question about the tones on the TTF program, What is consider a iron tone or better to said from what number line is the diference on the tone?
please let me know, Ive been hunting on TTF for the last month and I have dig good targets wile they sound mix of tone, a good example are wheat pennies and nickles.
please let me know. I've been using a 14" coil on my local parks and been able to get a nice silver dime and a quarter too.
thx.
HH.

Higher than 19 is ferrous? What about FTF (four tone ferrous)?

Thank you RetiredVeteranTH!

Have you ever try this settings on yours? I have never try this mode and I was just thinking about the other day, but now that you mentioned I will give it a try on my next hunt.
Thank you for the Idea.
Now If I create a patten blacking down only from the 28 line down, will this give me the same results on the TTF using from the 28 line down as ferrous? or the 19 line is the default for ferrous?
Thank you.
Elki.

Sorry 17 to 1 are non ferrous high tones 18 -35 are low ferrous grunts ..4 tones are 1-7 high pitch 7-17 medium pitch 17-30 low pitch 30-35 are the lowest pitch..

thanks for the info. Seems FTF gives a little more info. Why don't I hear as much about that as I do TTF? Is the latter more advantageous?

4 tones is to much to listen to for me ..Also if you run high sensitivity and get a lot of false high tones, try using long tones as the falsiing will sound as usual little chirps but wen a target is located in long tone you will hear it..

I tried 4 tones today for an hour and it was to much confusing for me. all I got was few pultabs and a bullet.
I think I will stick to the TTF it's much easier to follow, high tone= dig out and always a non ferrous target.

Thank you for the information it was apresiated.

Two tones is easiest to use, once you switch to 4 tones it just gets too noisy, stick with two tones and keep it simple

Hmm it seems to me that FTF would give you the option of digging less aluminum (low conductors-nonferrous) and only digging the highest tone ferrous objects which it seemswould be the better targets (coins?) other than golds ring etc as opposed to TTF which only tells you what is ferrous and nonferrous. Or am I missing something? It seems the only practical situation for using TTF is a site with little nonferrous junk that might have a lot of deep iron. The only thing I can think of like that is a site where a house or building once was. I like lots of tones: it gives me some audio input as to what I am detecting. Oh and thanks for the like on my fiances pic on FB. She's a peach ain't she? Hard to believe she's 45. (I'm 44) Here is me when I'm with her -->

well just try 4 tones in a place that has all kinds of trash and let me know what you think, to me, it was just too much.....this is NOTHING like using conductive tones trust me

I see...well I may try sometime...might be better to start in TTF anyway...The place I've been looking has a lot of nail but there is a lot of aluminum trash too.
