Ah, the age old problem of trying to get great depth while picking through the iron. My best spots, of course, are full of iron. I've made some good finds with my standard full tones program amongst iron, but I feel like I'm missing good targets. I copied the program to an open slot and did a lot of tweaking after watching a bunch of videos. I'm thinking using two different programs at places like this is the way to go. One for maximum depth, and one for maximum iron separation. Maybe a third that is a happy medium.
The tweaked program I came up with seems pick up coins beside rusty nails better than my old program, and actually goes deeper too. The new program is picking up a silver quarter next to nails nicely around 11" deep. That's about two inches more than my old full tones. I'm kind of regretting not doing this sooner, but I guess it's a learning process.
Here is my updated version, I call it IRONMAN.
Freq ......................11.7
Iron vol...................1
Reactivity...............1
Silencer..............-1
Audio response......4
Notch....................00.00
Disc......................4.0
Full tones
Sens.....................95
TX power...........2
I set this up in my garage tonight, hopefully I'll be able to try it at my site tomorrow. I'm hoping some of you more experienced folks can chime in with any additional info that may help. Is there anything I need to change?
