Question on axe heads and iron

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

My question is that when I can start to hunt again...just got done with a bone marrow transplant...and the doctors won't let me detect til Dec but I want to learn this machine....I would think I would hunt with very little disc maybe knock out nails but some sights where I did hunt have a lot of square nails with good targets mixed in. I hunt with a G2 by Tek and you can split the tone so iron will still give a grunt and a good target will give a tone. This way nothing is masked but I find that some of the iron targets are good iron targets so I have to dig grunts depending where I hunt. I found a gun from the late 1800 that way.

How do you relic hunters set up your machine for that type of hunting...And what do axe heads and relics of that nature come in as..are they different then say iron junk or do you have to dig it all?

there is always the two tone Ferrous mode with an open screen... many people use this mode for relic hunting.
or you could try conductive sounds with very little disc like you said. I believe large iron would still "peep" through while nulling nails and such. Also, you could try digging any "overload" signals as this indicates something large under the coil such as an axe head, gun, cannonball, treasure chest, etc....

hope this helps and I'm sure you will get more educated answers than this on here!

Good luck and hope you get healed up!

Anytime you get real large iron in a field it still comes thru as a scratchy non ferrous hit from one way, turn 90 degrees and nothing. Whenever I dig axe heads I always re bury them, no way I am hauling them out with me, to me they are just iron junk, I have reburied many axe heads over the yrs

Not to chase you away or anything, but you may have better luck with your question if you post it in the Tek forum. I'm sure that you will get some great advice from the E-Trac gang, but it may not be machine specific.
