does all silver scream high pitch

It also depends how you have your threshold pitch set to, your variability and your limits.
Put your sensitivity to manual, lower it to about 4 or 5 in the house and swipe different coins in front of the coil. Play around with the audio settings. Go to ferrous, go to conduct. sounds, mess with your threshold pitch etc. You can always do a reset to get everything back to the way it came out of the box.
And get to reading Andy's book...that'll help a lot!!!

Threshold pitch affects all targets. so even low conductors will sound higher if you have a high threshold pitch. IMHO having a low(er) threshold pitch will result in greater target sound variability, especially when limits and variability are 30 (max). I have mine set at 12 (T P)
Goes4ever pretty much nailed it when he said other targets in the hole will throw the numbers and tones off. Typically, yes silver will have a high pitched sound if you are in conductive sounds and threshold pitch is not set too low...
No matter which threshold pitch setting you use, I would recommend finding a setting that is comfortable and sticking with it. That way you will not be relearning tones all the time...Scan a silver coin and adjust until you find your comfort zone. I think this setting is more of a personal preference and does not affect performance...

In addition to what others have said you may want to try a few different brands of headphones.Some will give you much higher over all tones like the Sunray Pro Golds that I prefer for the E-Trac/Explorer line.I know others prefer ones with a over all lower pitch or tone and it is best to find what sounds best for your ears and hearing.I have some RAT Phones that are great quality and suit me very well on my F75 but not so much on my E-Trac. So it is all up to personal choice and you will never know what you are missing unless you get the chance to try two or more different sets,Ray.

Yes as you can see from the replies... the only certainty is... that there is no centainty... That being said... I've had targets that there was no dobt they were silver... in less trashy areas and based on the depth and your expierence at that site you can tell... but I've had target that I thought were good and probably silver and they turned out to be pennies... but I can say that nothing replaces hearing the high smooth 12/45 12/46 sound in your headphones...
I have varibility set @ 28 and use Black Wodow headphones... I like that they do keep a lot of the ambient noise out and they fit completely around my ears so they are comfortable to wear all day if needed...
Just my humble 2 cents...

It's more than just the metal (silver) that determines the tone/reading you get.
Very thin or very small silver will not come in like a silver dime or quarter. Silver half-dimes come in around the same tone and reading as a corroded Indian head cent. A 3-cent silver is lower, and a hammered silver coin (like found in England) even lower. I have found silver trinkets that were made in the 1700's that sound like a nickel.
Good luck!

This is true. I scanned a barber silver dollar and it was high, then I scanned a 2009 silver dollar and co # was 34, 35. Silver can come in just about anywhere, but for certain types of the same kind it will remain fairly consistent, unless the coin/object is crossways or on edge...
The varibility of your tone setup,ground conditions,trash with the coin and other things can determin it, you will figure out though on some coins it is nearly always the same , mercs on mine seem to scream but the 16/46 range it gives me and the tone seem to be consistant. Depth plays a role too all the above comments are great help. Hardrock
