Question about TTF

[Sid in NC]

I went for a short hunt today, hunting in TTF with an X-5 coil. I did find a 1954 quarter, 4 nickels, 2 clad dimes and a junk ring. I was using Bill's trashy park program with the bottom half of the screen open. The question, does the TTF go deeper or would I have been just as well off using Bill's trashy park program in conductivity with multi tone?

Personally I use the stock program conductive with multi-tone but a lot of people love bills trashy Park program it's a winner, and then when you run into a place that is full of iron put it in TTF and clean the rest of the coins out of the iron. Your question does TTF go deeper the answer is no it doesn't go deeper but you can't beat it in iron for pulling out coins you probably won't find in any other mode or program.

Keep in mind TTF is just an audio setting. It doesn't really change the sensitivity or depth capability of the detector. With that being said when you're in TTF a deeper signal will give a loud and clear high tone vs in conductive mode an extremely deep coin will produce more of a worley and iffy signal. Also the idea behind TTF is to run the screen as wide open as possible with little descrimination. That way if you're in a trashy area with a lot of iron the detector will hear the good targets mixed in with the bad. If you have a lot of descrimination on the screen then bad targets could be masking the good ones. I would suggest running either an open screen such as relic mode and TTF and go very slow. The other option would be to use the trashy park pattern and I usually run conductive mode with that.

Just noticed you said you had the bottom of the screen open in trash pattern, in that case would work well with TTF =)

If using TTF I would use an open screen....I would not mix a trashy program and TTF, run one or the other for best results..IMHO

What G4E said.

Another vote for what G4E said. One or the other.

I'm assuming you're referring to the pattern seen here:

Are there a lot of pull tabs and modern trash mixed with rusty iron at the site you're hunting?

What G4E said + dig all the high tones. If you have'nt already check out Goesforever's web site. The TTF master. HH

I was using the pattern seen in the link that RCDetector sent, and the site that I was hunting is full of pull tab rings and can slaw along with the iron bits. I dug a hand full of tabs to get the 4 nickels. Thanks for all the responses they have been helpful. I am beginning to really like the TTF and will continue to use it. Thanks again.

Run all types and now stick with open screen in ttf everywhere. The machine doesnt work hard and the skill of the detectorist comes intoplay
