Some TID numbers for US coins

[John in Nawth Carolina]

.....................8Khz...........12Khz........18Khz

US Nickel.....46-47.........55................64
Dime.............83..............88................91
Quarter.........89..............92................94

Older coins tend to show up as 1 or 2 numbers below newer coins.


Let's say you're hunting in 12Khz and get a few high tones with 95-96 TID, then it's probably iron falsing.

Interesting and good that nothing rang up higher then a 97. I was getting a lot of 98 - 99 yesterday and it was all rusted iron. I continue to dig these for a while longer and it's consistently iron, may elect not to dig.

I don't know for sure but an educated guess is, that is where the Deus puts targets that it can not match up to known target VDI values. On the White's machines a VDI of 99 serves the same purpose. If it can't figure it out, they beep and put the target up there in no mans land and it gives you the choice to dig or not. My experience has been a 99 is mostly rusty iron although one time it turned out to be a 15 pound copper plate and I bet a bag full of silver dollars would also fit in the 98-99 area, you just never know. If you are a gambling man, you should probably dig.

Lots of numbers to remember.

That is true if you use more than one frequency, I pretty much stick with 7.7. Maybe XP can standardize (normalize in White's language) the four frequencies in the next revision.

Kinda like a 10-50 on the E-Trac...

When you say a frequency of 7.7, what are you doing to the deus to get that frequency.o

 

[E-TREC-Virginia]

Go to the expert menu and adjust the frequency down from 8 to 7.7. It's explained in the user manual.

It helps with EM interference and interference from other nearby detectors.

No adjustments are necessary although you can skew the frequency a little. The advertised 4,8,12,18 kHz are just close but simplified operating frequencies. When you hunt in 8 kHz the actual operating frequency is displayed on the screen and it is 7.7xxx and I seldom use the others so I don't what they are.
