TTF IS AMAZING

greedykind said:
I have only had my detector a little over a year and believe me i have plenty to learn so i would love to know what you mean by deep on lower gain in manual.
The answer to your question would be no , but do you have a reason why you ask?Have you had luck with it and what benefit?I know hyow to get to these settings but love deep off fast off gain high( makes the silver sound sweet) and i change my coil over to a 10" sef and replaced it with the 6x8 15 minutes later.

Take a look at this, this will explain it.

(here is the thread http://www.findmall.com/read.php?63,1571311,1571311#msg-1571311)

"This is a common question and you will get differing responses based on personal preferences and the areas being searched.

I leave DEEP on and then vary the Gain as the conditions dictate. If you have DEEP = ON, the weaker signals get boosted but teh louder signals are not affected. If you run with GAIN = 30, all signals are affected which can result in overload and missed targets in some areas especially if there is trash present. By running with a lower GAIN setting, target separation - especially if there are shallow targets or multiple targets under the coil - will be cleaner. The DEEP = ON will ensure small or deep (weak) signals are not inadvertaly missed.

Hope this answers your question

I don't have a Etrac so I'm wondering what is TTF?
 
It is a little more than just two tone ferrous. It is running an open screen or like myself using the relic mode with 01-31 edited out. Iron is a low tone grunt and all non-ferrous targets are high tone leaving the choice to retrieve a target to the ears and conductive numbers along with the experience of the person running the machine. TTF is simply another tool in the tool box that has it's place when the conditions call for it. HH :minelab:
 
Just a note, but I find having DEEP = ON gives a less accurate target ID.

TTF stands for TWO TONE FERROUS and that is ALL it is. How and with what disc is personal preference and has nothing to do with what TTF stands for. I personally think TTF is worthless, way more valuable is 4 tone ferrous with a wide open screen because of the cut off lines the tones make. There is no need for a wide open screen on the etrac because that is where it works its magic. It has awesome see through capabilities and it actually needs some disc to work like that.
 
I printed out the TTF tutorial Goes4ever has on his website - very helpful BTW :thumbup:

I'm planning to try it out next weekend at a site that has all but dried up, but has over the past few years produced a lot of nice silver, tokens and Victorian jewelry, but I know there's got to be more :beers:

That is a good idea. I would recommend you flag your targets and go over them with your normal settings to see if you would have got them too.
 
Years of working in a noisy environment has not been kind on my hearing. Multitone just does not work for me, sounds like a bad band warming up. So I hunt mostly in TTF and do alright. May have to experiment with some settings suggested here. What little hunting I do in conductive I do in 4 tone and that works for me.

I agree with above and also about leaving Deep Off based on a video by Goes4ever
Recently, I am only using TTF and have dug ALOT of pull tabs and a 14K Men's Wedding Band:thumbup:
 
I recently tried TTF (2 tones not 4) on a park that I hunt just about everytime I go out which is about 2-3 times per week over the past 10 years. I have worked this park inside and out with other detectors and with the E-Trac using conductive setup. I have to tell you, I have found so much more using TTF in the last two outings than I have found over the past year! I am not exaggerating either. I really can't explain it, but I am digging 10-12" targets now and I wasn't before, not even with the etrac. My sensitivity is running really high in auto...25-28 +3 is usually where it stays. One thing I really like about TTF is when a target is found, especially any coin from pennies on up, it's dead on. Not much wavering on the numbers. I didn't think I would care for it much, but I am a believer for sure! I just can't figure out why it's detecting coins at a much greater depth and I'm not getting that same depth when using the conductive setup. The only thing that I haven't mastered yet is determining nickels when using TTF. It has fooled me many times, but I probably pull out 1 nickel to every 8-10 pull tabs. Overall, I believe I will stay in TTF everytime I go unless something really extraordinary makes me change. For those of you that haven't tried it yet, don't wait any longer. You will start finding good targets almost immediately.

Good Luck,

Texashunter,
I too just started trying TTF and also am seeming to find more items. However, unlike you, I do get a lot of bounce and fluctuation in my target ID's for both nickels and penny's. Some of the increase in finds is due to slowing down and searching the area where high tones mingle in with the low tones and being able to separate them to focus on the good target tone. But also, I am digging more junk targets as well but don't mind since my good targets have increased also. GL and HH.
