" Hi there ! "
After reading the general level of comments in the previous thread....SWEEP SPEED AND FALSING, it appears to me that there's quite a few of the contributors who have not yet fully understood the principles behind TTF usage.
I've preached and used the method from day one.
Why?
Because, if you only dig number pair whose Fe must be close to the 12 zone.....you're not a metal detectorist...you are a metal REJECTORIST.
You must play 'dirty' and get underneath the 'masking' effect of the SOIL'S concealment camouflage.
A 'good' target whose In-Air Fe value is about 12, will have that aspect 'APPARENTLY' demoted to some higher value ^ 15 ^20 ^24 ^27 by the increasing levels of ferrous objects OR magnetite (F3-O4) in the soil.
THE TARGET's FE doesn't change......It's the 'surroundings' that are changing, 'fogging' the reading.

TheMarshall....If the Fe numbers are increasing from say 14 towards 20......whatever your Fe mask level is....AND if the signal is repeatable......REGARDLESS of its possible broken nature.....
Look at the depth guage......DEEPISH...????........GREAT......Go after it.
DON'T BE PUT OFF BY 'IRON' indications when PIN-POINTING, for that is probably the masking agent, lurking in the 'field of view'.
If necessary......find it and remove same...THEN go and locate the nearby good target................Matt
NB Pinpointing is an ALL METAL function....so naturally, any nearby ferrous will generally dominate and determine where the cursor indication goes,
So don't be fooled or deterred......WHO DARES.....WHO DIGS......WINS MORE OFTEN.

Don't over think the signals too much!
[size=x-large]
If you get a positive signal that is repeatable, DIG IT!
[/size] Sometimes you get nails or screws, but that's the price you pay for playing the game

If you waste a lot of time checking and rechecking and analyzing and rechecking again you are wasting time for future targets. Beep, dig, move to next target
