SE Pro and various tones

[JoeinMemphis]

Hello, I am new to the SE Pro, and am hunting in a very iron polluted area. each swing brings about 5 nulls. Occasionally the null also has a higher tone mixed in with it (with the machine set to ferrous sounds) I was wondering what the chance is of it being multiple iron targets fooling the machine or "adding up" to a good target, or is there usually something actually non ferrous down there? Any input would be greatly appreciated. HH Joe

By walking around the target with a short fast wiggle, you can usually isolate the target in the trash, (iron). I use Ferrous tone, IM -31 and smart screen. If the cursor goes to the top of the display, especially top right, I dig. The high tone could also be rusty iron or steel, or chunks of lead, (including bullets), but the cursor will go to the lower right for rust and mid right for lead. By outlining your target while in pin point mode, you can tell if your target is a round coin sized object as well.

The best way to learn your machine is to dig all suspected good targets and learn first hand what causes it to do what it does. A smaller coil in that much iron will help tremendously too.

Larry's answer is really good, also you should notice the amount of high tone you are getting. A lot of them should be just momentary chirps which is nails falsing. Circleing the signal will tell you how iffy it is.
Watch your depth meter, if it is showing shallow you know to trust your meter more.
The amount of high tone you are getting in the mix is important, if you get a better sounding warble in iron then it may be worth investigating. Dig some of those you have in question and try to remember the depth reading, how much high tone coming thru and if you are getting any meter reading that gives you a hint that it may be a non-ferrous item in the mix. The more you dig iffies, the better you will get at interpreting which to dig or pass on.

There was one last weekend that stands out, iron then multiple tones from all directions. Yup, I probably left an 1851 Navy in the ground HH Joe
