Rick N. MI Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Use 5 tone. Set nails at -1 to -3 with lowest volume and low tone. For iron relics set -4 & down and set to a louder volume and low tone and for non-ferrous set 0 to 40 a loud volume and high tone. Basically a 2 tone low for iron relic & high for non-ferrous. and a quiet tone for small iron. A 3 tone mode. With this setting you will hear iron relics hitting a low louder tone and you can dig or not. High tone is your non-ferrous. This is good setting if you want to dig iron relics like I do. Some areas you don't want to dig iron relics you change to 2 tone or what ever you want. I think it's an interesting setting. The adjustments are great and easy in this detector. Now all we need now is a 5x10 or 8" round coil. Rick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alluminati Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 That is pretty cool, I am definitely going to have to try that. I have often wonder what goodies lie within the iron resolution of these machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Here is some iron relics I've found. These were found with a modded Lobo and an Impact. I haven't tried my Equinox Relic program yet but plan to tomorrow. Rick 1j by Rick Covert, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. MI Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 It's easy fine tune for where you are hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I try not to dig iron in the areas I hunt, but many times iron gets dug up due to iron wrap-around anyway, but never are they anything that interesting for me, mostly ox and horse shoes, wagon parts, an occasional miner pick, oh and the hoes - lol I've been forcing myself to hunt in 50 tone/multi, and am curious what settings you'd run for hunting in sea of nail sites?

Rick N. MI Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would hunt in 2 tone. I think it's just easier listening for the high tone. I haven't tried 50 tones. Rick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
