Hi Guys,
I tried running in Ferrous tones in a trashy area. I was using Mike Moutray's settings with Ferrous tones and Iron Mask -15. I found that most iron targets produce a low sound, but many of them also produce a super high pitched tone that represents the highest pitch I ever hear come out of the explorer. I also noticed that a silver dime sounds somewhat lower than the iron super high pitch, but a silver quarter sounds just like it. I could not tell the difference between a high-pitched iron target and a high-pitched quarter. I switched back into conductive sounds with iron mask -15. I was also using sensitivity of 27 manual. I noticed that iron sounds became higher. Some iron targets still produced the maximum pitch, but now both the silver quarter and the silver dime sounded lower than the maximum pitch which helped me tell the difference between the iron and the silver coins. Even though the iron false signals sounded off with exactly the same pitch as coin silver, their signals were hesitant (did not repeat as much as silver). I listened to each target for strong repeatability and found a 1941 S Mercury Dime at 4.5 inches deep after about 2.5 hours of hunting.

sounds like you are on the right track. some iron, especially thicker pieces, will fool all detectors because of its conductivity. your ears are learning, plus sometimes just dig to be sure!
