if you set the disc at 40 iron will not respond. 1 tone you will get all other targets but not high tone. 3 tone you will get high tone on all coins but zinc pennies and i would assume indian heads.

I set machine to 60, we have 90 percent of coins in the 75 to 90 range, i used 3 tones today and no drama, heard no iron and found a couple coins with nails in the same area.

If your in a iron infested nail site run iron disc up to 25-30 and use BP mode or 2 tone mode disc @ 39 and go slow when you hear a good signal you will know it by it being repeatable and not broken up sounding. I always run my sensitivity up as high as I can without it getting chattery. I use these same settings on coins and relics and have done pretty good so far.

why would you can the amount of iron disc. for those 2 modes. what type iron do you find you will eliminate by going from 25 to 39. i usually set mine at 40 to eliminate all iron. if i'm at a civil war site i'll set it lower but i use 3 tones to make sure i know the iron without having to look at the i.d. thanks.

at 40 disc do you eliminate as is no tone, or do you still get the iron grunt mixed in with the good tones

The most popular option over here in the UK is +2 the low tone for iron and a mid tone for non ferrous so in theory with just the 2 tones it could not be any easier to work out what to dig with just a quick look at the screen to confirm,if its iron the TID usually bounces on the meter so with the unique iron sound and the TID confirming it you should in theory dig very very little iron.The tones on the T2 are the most reliable signals on what to dig or leave in the ground the meter is just a back up confirmation.

Nails mainly is what that discriminates out I have found if you run it at 40 it can disc out certain buttons that have iron backs or it makes them sound like junk. Sometimes I run the iron disc lower in order to keep good targets from being masked its according to the site I'm hunting and what targets I'm hunting for.

if you set the disc at 40 iron will not respond.

Almost always true, but ..... I have found some nice smaller gold jewelry that give the bass-like Iron audio and they read in the upper Iron VDI range. I have also encountered some Iron targets which, due to their size and shape, rendered them with a slightly higher conductivity andthey reaad or respond with a higher-pitched non-ferrous audio and the VDI is also a bit higher and out of the Iron range. Nothing is perfect.

1 tone you will get all other targets but not high tone.

I prefer to use the 2-Tone audio when I hunt with T2 or Omega in most serous sites with some occasional iron. However, if I just want to reject a certain range of lower-reading iron, such as common Iron nails, I opt of the 1-Tone audio, set the Discrimination at a point to just barely reject the problem trash that annoys me (such as Iron nails laying on the ground) and the 1-Tone audio response suggest the target be recovered, regardless of the VDI.

3 tone you will get high tone on all coins but zinc pennies and i would assume indian heads.

Most Indian Head and many early Wheat-back 1

I've always wondered what you mean by the statement' Your eyes the only 100% accurate form of discrimination' I would think it was your ears?

in real trashy areas try running 1+ tones set the disc at 21 to 40 dig every thing that pinpointes good you will be suprised at some good targets that sound good in 1+ tones and sound like junk in other tones including small gold and jewlery items and coins that are next to iron . you have to remember what works for me or someone else might not work for you it all depends on soil conditions amount of trash and iron. try running a different settings every time you go out swinging after a while you find what works the best for you good luck hh

Some folks say your probe is the best discriminator or a Lesche Digger, or the Target ID or just the detector and the Discrimination setting used.

In the end, we can see what a visual display HINTS what a target might be, and we can HEAR what the detctor might beep on or the audio we might get, such as a strong Vs weak Vs iffy signal, or a particular Tone ID audio. All of those are only parts of the big picture. In simple terms, a metal detector will detect metal, but beyond that, TID is simply a guess.

Once you recover any target and take a look at it, you will know if it is something that YOU determine to be good or bad. Thus .....

i've never got the low iron tone while hunting like that but most of my hunting at those settings are in wood chip playgrounds. i wouldn't think with all iron eliminated you would ever receive the low iron tone.

 

[chuck ky]

the only time i use this setting and not dig signals in the 70's range is in modern areas where most would be zinc's. the one exception is wood chips where i get everything because there's no holes to be dug. thanks

Sound advice, but l use less disc here in the UK for fear of disc'ing out some small non ferrous items. Always run disc as low as possible or you will knock out some goodies.
