Howdy All! Well...... I have been reading all the posts here on two tone ferrous, and decided I would also try to find a good way to put it to the test. I went back to the house I grew up in, and found my first silver coin with the E-Trac there. It sits on a 75x125 foot lot, so it isn't hard to cover in a short hunt. I had hunted there with my Whites 6000D CoinMaster in the 70's, and over the years a few times with others, up to my XLT, after which I had took a break from this hobby until I bought the E-Trac this year. I have now hunted there at least three times in conductive, multi tone, coin mode, both Minelabs, and Andy's with the E-Trac and had thought it was finally hunted out. The last hunt there with the E, I had nothing but nulls and iron. I went back and hunted it again in Two Tone Ferrous last Sunday evening, and was quite surprised with the results. Two silver finds, a '64 Roosie, a silver locket. A 1915 and dateless Buff. a '46 Jeff, a token, and a 1951 Dog license. All finds except the token were mixed in the holes with iron, nails, or steel clothes pin springs, and all were also unstable signals. But.... they all gave a high tone, enough to prompt me into checking them out further. The two tone ferrous worked well, and I will now go back to a few more old sites, that were iron infested to see what I missed. Funny thing about hunting in your own yard, you know all the finds! The dog tag belonged to "Cookie" my mothers dog. The locket was a gift to my sister from a High School boyfriend, lost in the '60's. It even had a little of the remains, of what was his picture still inside. She got a big smile on her face when I returned it back to her this week!
