Conductivity Grouping Chart

[X-Terra70_TreasureHunter]

heres the General Conductivity Grouping chart for metal detectors
which is supplied by Bounty Hunter in their manuals which might
be different for each brand.

Theres things in the grouping chart that folks love to find + stuff
they hate too find too, according to the 3 tones that most metal
detectors produce.

That is a pretty "broad" grouping. Like, since when do nails (assuming they're fully iron) and nickels get put in the same category? They are far apart on the TID scale.

Tom that is the chart from BOUNTY HUNTER metal detectors

This Bounty Hunter has only 3 I.D. tones, low, mid and high. I personally like it better than the tone I.D. on my DFX. With the BH, when I hear a high tone I know it's a copper penny, dime, quarter or silver and don't pay much attention to the visual I.D. When I hear a mid tone I usually ignore it, moslty screw caps or zinc cents. But when I hear that low tone, I perk up. One quick glance at the visual I.D. and I know if it's foil, nickel or pull tab, or a nail if I've set the disc that low. With the DFX, it sounds like a pinball game, 191 tones is too much.

And if it bounces around through all 3 that's rusty old iron?

Here's one with a little more detail. (NOTE: these are not VDI/TID readings so it applies to any detector).

Don't I wish coins were the only thing that gave high tones.
