Discriminating iron. Tone question.

[pvtcook]

Hunting on 2F. If I turn my discrimination up to 25-30 should it stop the low tone? I'm curious. I was hunting a very trashy place w lots of iron and I thought if I turned my discrim up it should stop all the grunting. It didn't.

I do not know what unit you are using, but with the F70 for example , you would need to make sure you don't have a notch segment in the iron area selected. Any notch that falls with in the same area that already has discrimination dialed in would in fact notch that area back in to your hunt thus allowing you to hear the iron grunts.
Hope this helps-------------------------IB

Sorry I'm using a new F75 Ltd. I don't have notch on. I just thought that turning the discr above the iron level would eliminate the low tone. Maybe I'm wrong. Just want to make sure nothing is wrong w my detector.

 

[IBdiggin]

Yes I would think so also----IB

It should do as you think, buy turning up the disc above iron you shouldn't get the iron grunt. Now when iron is in the ground for a long time you may get some iron grunts. But to see if your machine is working right, set it up for a simple air test, set disc to 0 run a small nail past the coil it should give the iron grunt, then turn the disc up above iron and you shouldn't get a grunt. It is either working or not working.

I know at times I started hunt at low disc and after a few hours of all the tones I will run the disc up to max and just go for coins. I can for sure not hear most of the lower tones.

Do a reset, it fixes most bad behavior when Fishers go a bit wonky.

Ok I will try a reset. I thought I was right. I'll give the reset a try.
Thanks

River's made a good call, first sign of a problem do the reset. If you have been messing with notches you can get something like iron notched in.

If I'm right those 2f 2l 2h are new tones that allow you to hear iron at a grunt at different levels of sound. So maybe discriminating higher like you did doesn't stop the iron sound try a different tone like 3 or 3h or 4 or 4h or 1n to see what's up too.

Should not hear any iron with disc.set on 16 or so. Like suggested above you can do a reset. Also something to keep in mind is if you use 1n you won't hear the iron but you can see the iron numbers if you want.
Really should be better than using disc. In 2f.

Ok to do a factory reset you hold the red button down and push the trigger while turning detector on right?
