Question about TTF

[Phillip_in_NM]

Something about this may have been posted before, but I couldn't find it....

Would it make sense to use TTF with the bottom of the screen open (accepting all ferrous) and the top a normal discrimination pattern?

I've used it with the screen completely open and have had some amazing results, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to decrease the amount of signals without diminishing the benefits of TTF.

Thanks,

Phillip

I guess it depends on your location and what is in the ground. This might be ok in a site where you have heavy iron and very llittle conductive targets, but in a park where you have a million pulltabs, disc'ing those out would be as bad as discin'g out nails in a field. The point is being able to hear the good target beside the bad....IMHO

Well, I have to give your opinion lots of weight, since you're the one that turned me on to TTF in the first place! I tried the discrimination on top with the open bottom today at a soon to be ghost town and, quite frankly, didn't like it. What I like most about TTF is the lack of nulling. Running the discrimination pattern on top brought back the nulling. Oh, well, lesson learned!

Thanks for your input.
