I really hadn't run my CTX in manual high sensitivity much since I've had it until this week when I started hunting in fields vs around home sites. There were parts of the fields I hunted this week that were heavy iron patches. I've heard there used to be houses or barns etc there but noone is still breathing around here to ask or confirm. Something I noticed when hunting this week (by the way all my hunting was done in combine mode) is when running at 27/28 manual sensivity and hitting the iron patches, it seemed easy to pick out the low conductors amongst all of the small high tone iron falses.
You see most folks coming off of an explorer and etrac were used to hearing the high tone over silver. As a matter a fact we as operators didn't have a choice, as the explorers and etracs were designed that way and we couldn't adjust.
Look where iron comes in on your CTX screen and conductive scale. Most iron seems to like the 40 plus conductive scale with high ferrous. What would happen if we moved the frequency bin for high conductors we desire to say the tone we generally hear say on an etrac when over a nickel? In doing this wouldn't we get the tone we hear over a silver coin away from the iron false range and be better able to discern a silver coin in iron in comparison to an iron false. I believe this setup will allow for better hearing of moderate to high conductors when hunting iron patches especially if we are maybe swinging a tad too fast for the detecting environment. I plan to try this setup this week in the fields and around a few house sites. I will in fact set my bin freqs up backwards as most of us have been running them and leave the iron bin set to the lowest freq. I'm open to criticism and ideas on my thinking.
