Thanks for the comments guys.
Quite a few people are using my setup and are enjoying it.
Here's the reasoning if you want to give it a go:
The only black on the screen is on the FER 01 line. Even then, it's open in the CON 38-48 region on that line.
This is because I am totally convinced that large deep iron wraps around the Ferrous scale from 35 to 1. The way I am set up means that I would get high tone blips, pops and chirps
if I don't black out this line. It really calms the machine down.
The bit left open on that line allows large silver to come through which it sometimes does on that line.
That's the pattern!!!
I set up in 2 tones and Ferrous sounds. I like listening to the iron. When a good target crops up, it leaps out at you in a high tone amongst the low tones.
You just have to listen through the the low tones for the high ones.
By doing this, it speeds up the ETrac dramaticlly.
Because you aren't discriminating anything at the bottom, it doesn't need to null out and recover because it's giving you a low tone instead.
Finally, I engage Recovery DEEP ON to enhance the audio on deeper targets and also Recovery FAST ON. You couldn't really do both on the SE but you can on the ETrac due to the faster
processor. I'll tell you why I do it.
Some people, especially in the UK say that they dig good targets that have high Ferrous numbers. I'm not totally convinced about this. I suspect that they 'think' a target has a high ferrous number
but really it's a Ferrous 12 target next to something else which is dragging the ferrous number down due to target 'blending'.
The amount of times I've heard someone say that a target was FE 27 in the ground and FE 12 when out!!
I suspect that when out, there was something highly ferrous left in there!!
FAST ON will reduce target blending so when this happens, you'll get a distinct high tone next to a low tone. Enough to investigate further.
I've dug good ferrous 12 targets to 14-16 inches in depth. In my mind, if a target is FE 12, it's FE 12 and that's it.
Dig all two way high tones, good or iffy, as long as they are two way.
Good luck!!
