So in ttf does silver still show up around 12-45 or higher? I'm not sure if I'm missing stuff or not

Numbers in ttf really don't change from when you're running in multi but if the iron is dense enough to need ttf you could easily have silver average down to lower numbers if the coil is also reading some iron.
I will seldom use ttf in modern sites as I prefer the open screen instead to check around nulls. 12-45 could certainly be something good , as a matter of fact , it usually is!!

don't get stuck on the 12 part ... it can go up into the low 20's with lots of iron around. if it sounds good dig it or lower numbers too ... with the Etrac the tone trumps the numbers every time

Well I'm getting high tones with everything from 10-02 to 20-50 . I have hunted this area alot with the safari and I can't imagine these are all silver lol I dug everything above a 35 on the Co side. With two tones it's hard to tell a difference

So silver at fe 46 and above? Anybody have merc dimes come in at 39?

You mean conductive 46 and above!
Silver dimes can actually ID a little below 46 too.
Seem to remember one day last Summer digging up a 10" severly worn Barber dime that came in around a jumpy 40.
One side of that thing was so worn at first i chalked it up as a bingo chip until i flipped it over to the other side.
These are the best finds of that day, obviously its the center dime and thats the 'good' side.
The other side of that Barber is completely smooth with no visible detail.

I'm not in an area for barbers 
but that's good to jnow. What did the mercy come in as if you remember?
but that's good to jnow. What did the mercy come in as if you remember?The point i was trying to make is that 'any' severely worn thin silver dime can occassioinally ID at a Co of 40 to 42.
Typically, shallow to moderately deep silver dimes come in anywhere from about Co 43 to 45. Ferrous is not alway 12 either depending on depth, nearby junk, etc.
I've found many deep silver dimes that rang in with IDs of 1-jumpy30's to 40's.
The sooner you forget those published ridgid ID charts and dig these IDs for your self, the faster you'll learn the eTRAC.
You got to be willing to dig, learn, dig, learn and dig some more.
By the way 12-39s (or Co higher) in my experience are usually aluminum bottle caps but not always.
