My coin tones and breaks for 12kz

[Mountain Mike]

I am putting together my own 12kz program for coins. This program will be for sites 1900 or newer with some modern trash. I am new to the Deus so keep that in mind. The following will be my tones and breaks. Let me know if there is an obvious problem with it. It will use 5 tones as follows.

Tone 1 200hz-My disc zone which will be controlled by the iron volume-set at 1 or 2

Tone 2 450hz-ID #s 6-59. This will be my nickel zone as I will notch from 6-50. So only 50-59 will be heard with a very noticeable tone.

Tone 3 200hz-ID #s 60-75. I will call this the pull tab zone. Although it is in the same tone as assigned to iron it gives a much louder tone than the iron since the iron volume is at 1 or 2. A zinc penny that registers below 75 is probably not worth digging.

Tone 4 650hz-ID #s 75-80. Zinc zone.

Tone 5 800hz ID #s 80-99. Hopefully this zone catches good coins such as wheats, coppers, and silvers.

Just my opinion, I would drop the nickel range down a bit from 50 to 47 or so. The one shield nickel I found came in at 47-48 (in the ground).

Oops, just re-read original post indicating post 1900. Sorry.

I was thinking if it was an earlier site maybe drop the notch to 6-40 and honestly I would did everything 40-99 unless there was modern garbage then it would just depend on how good it sounded..
