Relic Hunting
Hey everyone. I'm going detecting tomorrow to my trusty civil war campsite. Would yall recommend the TTF for the etrac? I can't decide what mode I was going to use. The other detector that's going to be out there is my brothers at pro and don't want to get skunked by him
 

TTF works great to pick the non ferrous signals out of the iron. But if your wanting to dig the iron also on a relic site just run it wide open with as much sensitivity as you can get without the chatter.
 

TTF, FTF or just simply the relic mode will work. Remember not all relics are non-ferrous. I love large square nails, larger iron pieces are relics too! You basically just want to try to NOT dig small bits of iron like pieces of nails.

That's what I was going for. It's hard to discriminate out those and not worry about losing depth in a really hard hit site
 

I'm TTF you run a wide open screen no disc at all. You want to be able to hear all the iron grunts and listen for the high (mid tone in 4TF) tones amongst the lows.
 

Run Multi tone conductive wide open screen and then raise the ferrous line to 30. Thats it...Its amazing in iron.

I watched mowerdog's video on the difference between TTF and Multi with ferrous line at 30 and now I'm afraid to know how much I've missed in TTF.

You shouldn't miss anything in TTF since you hit everything across the spectrum and use ZERO discrimination. Running ferrous line at 30 in multitone conductive will still cause masking with good targets adjacent to iron.
 

Weird I can't read the comment

That was with both at 30. TTF didn't make a sound with a quarter and a dime between 2 nails and multi rang out loud and clear.
 

I'll have to try this
