There's a big difference between falsing and (un)masking.

1) Falsing = iron sounding better than it should (usually because of size/shape/holes/corners/rust).

2) Masking = iron making an adjacent nonferrous target sound worse than it should.

Increasing Silencer will move the decision-point towards iron in both the above types of situation. Silencer will help to reduce falsing but effectively increase masking (a trade-off as per usual). I nearly always use Silencer=0 and use other methods to spot falsing.

Exactly.

 

The way that I understand masking (or, at least the way that I'm using the term) is when the RF from the coil hits iron and causes a magnetic field around it that hides the non-ferrous object.  That's why reducing power can sometimes help to minimize it.

One more outing with Tekkna . A militaria outing proposed by my cousin Francois . He is a 1st WW specialist and he has A Deus1 , it was a good occasion to go out and appreciate a sunny day of Spring ..

2 nice finds for me, a St George medal perhaps lost by a British soldier in 1914 and a nice French infantry aluminium button .  It confirms that Tekkna can be used almost everywhere for coin/relic hunting with very excellent results ...

Good evening lads! 

Tried the Tekkna today and found it a kind of uncomfortable on the wet grounds (although a snow melted about two weeks ago there is still too much water in the fields), so had to switch to the first program (which is deemed to be good for this conditions).  Or I haven't got used to it yet....

So I wonder if this program is meant for dry grounds? What is your experience?

Thanks

I have wondered why the people that created Tekkna would use a Frequency Addition program instead of basing it on a program like General.

So I tried it, using many of the same parameters, and it wasn't good.

I've used Tekkna on the day after a rainstorm, and it worked just fine. We don't get much snow here but we get a lot of rain this time of year, I usually wait until the second day to go out, but I have no problem using it when it is wet or dry.

What specifically did you encounter when using Tekkna that caused you to not like it?

I will say that varying reactivity in almost any program will produce similar results, but Tekkna gives less false signal on iron.

It may be "witchcraft", but it is not a magic perfect program, if there is a lot of non ferrous undesirable junk (can slaw, pull tabs, bits of wire), it will identify it all as good by giving you a repeatable positive tone and ID.

About the only thing you won't dig is iron if you hold yourself to only digging good repeatable tones and ID.

A good trick even with Tekkna is to notch 00-00 like in Relic, it works even better with iron.

Welcome to the forum! 🙂

Добрый вечер, ребята!

Сегодня попробовал Tekkna и обнаружил, что она немного неудобна на влажной территории (хотя снег растаял около двух недель назад, на полях все еще слишком много воды), поэтому пришлось переключиться на первую программу (которая считается подходящей для этих условий). Или я еще не привык к этому....

Итак, мне интересно, предназначена ли эта программа для сухих площадок? Каков ваш опыт?

Спасибо

Добрый. Делаю tekkna  на базе 1й в таких местах. Железо выше 7 не ставлю,,,и так шумновато. Успехов

Translation:

Kind. I make tekkna based on 1st in such places. I don’t set the iron above 7, and it’s too noisy. Good luck

What I didn't like was that there was too much mumbling to my ear. P1 did well (I use full tones also). I guess it is a matter of habit only. Tekkna is saved along with modified P1 and P6 so I gonna work with it anyway

As for undesirable junk - it is no problem cause I tend to dig almost every target that rings nicely, so every time it ends up with a pouch full of trash (wire, shell fragments etc)

Приветствую! У меня основная на основе 1й (полифония). Оставлю Теккну на 3й - дело привычки, скорее всего
