I run TTF = nickels, run modifi coin, = no nickels

[Joe Diggerall]

I run TTF = nickels, run modifi coin, = no nickels. Auctually very very few nickels.

I just don't get the nickel hits when I run the modified coin and no I don't have nickels blocked out in my modified coin program.

Does anyone have a link to some info on this?

your screen is way more open I am guessing in TTF? Nickels bounce a lot for me and in TTF getting nickels is way easier for me as well

Yeah pretty much wide open just alittle blocked. Don't have much bounce on the nickels tho.

Good Morning Joe,

I have my E-Trac running and getting a pretty good understanding of how it works. Have use primarily the factory default with a little change in the sensitivity and threshold. Very excited with the results in a old worked out park that is now producing coins again. Can you tell me where I can get the TTF program. I see many references to it and can't seem to find the actual program.

Thank you,

Hi Jeff & Joe,

Those sites are just what I was looking for. I now have a good enough understanding of how the E-Trac works that I can see why the program works in the iron infested places. I now have a few school houses I can go back to and hit again. They have been worked over for years and I know that most everyone has missed a few targets because of all the trash. I now have enough programs to work just about any of the worked out places that I started on 30 years ago. The sad thing is that I don't have another 30 years to metal detect. The good thing is that the E-Trac has given me a new reason to keep going.

Thanks to both of you and I will be reporting back on my success,

You are very Welcome!

My best advice, put a 6" EQ2 or an X-5 on the end of that Etrac and go very very slow using TTF. It won't take long till you will be smiling at the screen of your Etrac.

Went back over a empty lot using ttf I recently had some luck in. Found 9 more coins, only clad but still 3 to 5 in deep,
2 of them were nickels and 1 of them was only about 3 in deep.In my first 2 hunts of the area I had not found any nickels(using a mod coin program). Also founda ring in ttf.
