Nox 600 Beach with Iron

Hello all, long time reader of the forums but I officially just joined

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me. I’ve been detecting an East Coast Salt water beach and there has been some good erosion and it’s dropped the sand level considerably. It’s now exposed plenty of rocks and also some big rusty iron along with plenty of iron still in the ground. We’ve pulled out some old coins (1898 IHP and about a dozen silvers). The big iron is giving us fits though. Falsing like crazy. Hearing some sweet high tones and turns out it’s iron.
Using a Nox 600, Noise cancelling, Beach 2 ( we are in wet sand and tidal pools), Iron is at F2=0 and sensitivity 20-23 usually. Using the 11” coil mostly but playing around with the. 6” occasionally.

Anyone have any suggestions on navigating the iron falsing.

Thanks everyone

Crank the F2 iron bias up to at least the second highest setting, if not full, that's what it's for. Use the horseshoe to listen for iron grunts in unison with the falsing high tones vs. a pure high tone should give you a clue too. Big iron falsing, use pinpoint mode to trace the target footprint. If it's big, then not a coin.

Listen to vferrari and do what he says.

You might also try reducing the sensitivity to help keep it from sparking on all that iron. I'd try sensitivity all the was down to single digits just to see what it will do in the worst areas. I'd also run the recovery speed up to max (I guess 3 on the 600) to help separate targets.
