Aluminum is basically what plagues us on our beaches when you bring up the topic of junk. And where I land hunt at the Seminole Indian War site is not really riddled with scrap iron. Does this mean TEKNNA was not meant for me? ? Yeah it's probably not the best for the beach, not having any beach parameters. ? I probably would have dug less junk if I wasn't specifically looking for gold jewelry. If you know your good IDs, it would be good at any old site, it's specifically good for finding small coins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to now do a complete new TID chart? I'm not finding that big a difference in IDs, I think you'll find that pennies were differentiated a bit, but otherwise silver is where it was. If you're a relic hunter this is great for home sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to use it at other locations ... ? Try lowering reactivity to 2 and 1.5. the Deus is so fast you'll still hit good stuff, and some things deeper. I've found lowering reactivity picks up more targets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zord Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I think Tekkna is useless in iron infested sites. This program is based on prog. 3, which uses more agressive silencer settings, even at 0. Why not use prog. 4 Fast? Fast is based on silencer filters from 0.71 version and is great for unmasking and separation. The disc is set to 42 and now everything below that value is controlled by Iron Volume setting which is 10. That's major problem, because everything: ground, iron, ceramics and low nonferrous conductors -all sound at the same high level of volume 10. That's overkill for human ear, same problem was with fulltones in D1 when hunting in heavy iron. The reason why Tekkna was created is simple: minimal iron falsing. People love minimal iron falsing, but nothing comes for free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's overkill for human ear Personally I use the SENSI FT iron volume default setting at 7 in my Tekkna version. I havent changed to 10 as suggested in the vid. I havent tried 10 yet but yes it could be a little too noisy for me At 7 I hear the ferrous but just as a background noise , and I found the audio to be cumfortable even on our local nails beds ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that Gary Blackwell likes to hear something in the headphones. I also use Relic a lot, and sometimes get tired of the loud noise on a good target. It also falses much more on iron than Tekkna does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zord Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I can't let myself using a 42 tonebreak and Iron Volume below 10, because there is a big chance to miss all this subgram ancient, early medieval, medieval and so on, micro tiny silver and gold coins and relics. I'm audio guy, never looked ar target id, but FYI this stuff is hidding in 30-42 id range. Just right above coke. In Tekkna using Iron Volume below 10 is no go for me. Unless: -lower the disc to 28 -using another program as base -using on clean, iron-free site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst targets in a normal disc program may get dragged down Into the 30’s or 40’s, Tekknna is not using disc, this setting in full tones is more of a threshold for the offset. I think it actually separates better because the target ID’s are being pushed into their respective tone bins rather than being averaged by disc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found both pieces about a foot apart in an extremely trashy field, not just iron. Here's what the field is loaded with, I didn't dig any iron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
