TTF on Explorer

[BobinSouthVA]

Can anyone explain how I would set this up on my Explorer and exactly what it means? I've read about it and poked around the Internet but am still a bit confused on which settings to tweak exactly?

I have an 1800 home site with constant nulling near the home where I think the goodies are.

Thanks
Bob

Ok did some more searching and found this on another board. Think I'll give it a try.

the IM setting is a discrimination setting, not a tone setting. When George said "split your screen about center from top to bottom" he wasn't referring to the IM screen; I think he was just verbalizing a visual way of thinking of the dividing line between the ferrous numbers and how they relate to the two tones

Also the E-Trac isn't set up the same as the SE in this instance.

Technically you can't exactly replicate 2-tone Ferrous on an SE. On an E-Trac there is a setting that you can adjust, to 2 tones (versus 4 tones or multi tones). Then you put the 'Sounds' setting on Ferrous. What George is saying is that this setting is calibrated at FE value of 17 so that anything 17 or below will come in as a high tone, and anything higher than 17 will be a low 'grunt'. On an E-Trac. The FE numbers on an SE aren't calibrated the same as on an E-Trac.

Also, on the SE there is no setting like on the E-Trac to adjust it specifically to 2 tones. You have to use the variability adjustment in your settings and set it to a low value so there is not a lot of variation of tone from target to target. And set your 'Sounds' adjustment to ferrous (so the tone is reliant on the FE number, not the CO number). Still, it will not exactly replicate 2-tone ferrous sounds on an E-Trac.

You really don't want much discrimination if any for this setup. IM all the way, or almost all the way, to the left.

Well put !! The way I ran my SE was ALL metal(wide open screen/No discrim) ferrous sounds.You will get close too the same results we get using 2 tone /ferrous sounds on the E-Trac.Also with the SE you can set it up in ferrous sounds so it almost sounds identical to the conductive sound set up.If you are willing to listen to the low tone grunt from all the iron u wont suffer the delay from discrimination.Try it you may like it It was the only way I would use my SE after I did.HH

Bobin main point in using explorer in ferrous not conductive like you use now. in ferrous you can take off discrimination--make open or clear screen and make detector work a bit faster or hear how many targets under the coil and not have threshold sound,-- silent or signal--very simple . in ferrous you will hear all iron in low and the rest in high, for good targets will be some small different sound, foil and copper will sound a bit different, but not much. you can change it from menu, but dont have near me detector and like all the time use in ferrous dont remember where to go next, but its very simple switch on and you will found. pluss use sensitivity-in trashy places drop in clean raise. good luck with something interesting Stasys

yes this is right

Awesome, thanks for the input Stasys
