LOVE this pitch program!

The Deus was pointin em out, i was diggin em up! The horseshoes are civil war.

it happens my post in todays finds did that. congrats on the finds.

I give you the props on this program, my friend! I totally got it from you. Been runnin in the 8kz now, too. That has increased my finds CONSIDERABLY. Thanks, again CD!

 

[Bharpring]

great job on the finds!

 

[dirtlooter]

congrats on the awesome finds and the program usage. a confidence booster for sure

The pitch program? As in the original (#4??) Pitch?

It's a variation of that program, yes. I run my machine a bit "hotter" than the original program. It works remarkably well in low trash, high iron infested areas.

I've been running it at 54khz in my iron infested civil war campsite and found more in the last week than I have in months over the same ground.

I found a nice 3 piece cuff button with a nail in the same hole.

Dig you check the target with other programs or frequencies to see if they would hit it?

 

[Calabash Digger]

A lot of times other freqs and tones will hit AFTER you have found it and honed in on it. Would they have stopped you and alerted you ? Don't know ...

I don't use the pitch program. There are so many items side by side in my one CW site, you'd go nuts trying to find them. The HF coil at 74khz nails the little items, but sometimes I have to bump it back down to 28khz to eliminate some of the rocks the soldiers put in the walls of their huts. Now if I had a wide open field, that would be a different animal.

CD,

If another program or settings hit after finding a target I can't understand why they also wouldn't have hit it to begin with? The degree of the alert may not be the same; maybe better maybe worse.

I also like the pitch program you showed us and have used it this week on several hunts. In no case yet have I found a target with the pitch program that one or more other programs couldn't hit. This could be target specific or site related and there may be targets that only pitch will alert well enough on to cause a dig.

I typically use 5 tones with the highest set at or above 900, so the alerts are pretty obvious in most cases on highly conductive. The pitch settings you showed does make things obvious and I will continue to use it along with other favorite settings.

I don't believe that any one program or settings will alert to all targets depending on orientation to other metals in the ground and swing direction in relationship to them. Some testing shows me that Gold Field will hit on some coins located with nails in some orientations that provides alerts or better alerts than most other settings. Although I will not use Gold Field as general hunting program; some sites will be revisited with it.

 

[Calabash Digger]

Example AT pro ill hit a lot of targets Deus finds after its found because you have it isolated and have the coil placed over. Introduce the swing speed and target disappears........ Now does this happen with Deus in 5 tones don't know I Have never liked the deus in 2 , 3, 5 tone settings . That's probably because I started with full tones. The bins on the tones would have a lot to do with it too. Pitch makes the lowest conducter squeal high where 5 tones might throw it into the low tone bin and you might pass it over... just a thought

The pitch program works best in iron. I work in A LOT of barbed wire. It will pick out the good target regardless of the proximity of iron. Whereas my full tone program might or might not hit on it. The machine only has a split second to alert you to a target. You're not gonna be walkin around in circles and analyzing every target, from every angle, everytime. You would only be making 5 holes on a 2 hour hunt! It will also tell you about big iron targets. I'm lookin for a cannonball right now. The pitch will give me a heads up on big iron. The 2 horseshoes i found here, and a toothed chisel that i found, were all pointed out as being iron because of the sound of the pitch, and i knew they were big and a shot at being a cannonball. You have to get to know the ground you're working, to know which program is best for that setting. I don't use pitch everywhere...if i used it at a park, with a bunch of can slaw, it would drive you NUTS and confuse you. That is where i would bring out one of my full tone programs.

I haven't yet encountered iron as big as a large horseshoe or a cannon ball. How does pitch alert to big iron in a way that other programs can't?

Your right how one sets up the bins has a lot to do with what one wants to be alerted to the most. You can make anything squeal that you want. Of course with the HF coils the spread get much more condensed compared to running in 8k with the LF coils. Not sure that 5 tones are as useful with HF coils, could probably get by with less.

 

[Digalotajunk]

If i was in a clean field running a full tone program, a horseshoe is going to give a false high tone, and from the lack of targets in say, a ploughed field, you're gonna dig it, and get that horseshoe that way. In thick iron, on the pitch program, you will get the same false signal, and i got them that way. Let me explain. On the pitch program, in thick iron (because this program is task specific) there are 3 tones you hear. A low grunt; which tells you where iron is. I have my iron tone at 1. I like to know where fence lines are, or in flat nails, where i can tell the parameters of an old building. Then, there is the "sweet" tone; THAT one gives you your high conductors (digable targets.) Then, there is a 3rd tone; This tone is kinda hard to explain, unless you hear it. CD describes it as a "forced" tone. And when that 3rd tone hits all the way around that target, then baby, you got yourself a nice big piece of iron!

 

[parkgt]

Now that you have explained it, I have heard all three tones. I dug up a large (2" plus) rusty iron washer today that had that "forced" tone.

Thanks

I was just thinking about it, and there IS a 4th tone. It is below the "sweet" signal. It is a clear mid tone. I haven't dug enough in this tone, to give an educated guess as to what kinda targets give off this tone...I'll add to this, if i figure it out.
