Noah (FL) Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Just curious as to the mid/high tone break and where it falls in relation to zinc pennies. Its hard to tell from looking at the diagram in the owner manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Chuck (Ridge Runner) has one coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah (FL) Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks fellas. I’ve gotten used to having the tone break right at zimc so they give a mixed tone with the Kruzer. It’s nice in parks and schoolyards for getting an ID range without having to look at the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Like Steve said I do have a ORX that should be here maybe Wednesday of this coming week. Here is this old courthouse that sits in the middle of a city block and I have permission to detect. The lady who I guess you’d call her the overseer said others has detected it but found only bottle caps . If I do find any coin I plan on donating to their history display they have.

groundscanner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Air testing with my ORX I got the following in coin fast: Clad dime 92/high tone Zinc penny 86/high tone 1943 penny 91/high tone My wedding band sounds off on the midtone. Per the manual bronze coins should read lower, between about 63 to 82. I have only used it twice and this is my first XP product so you will need to wait for someone else's report for the definitive answer.

groundscanner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Here is the section from the manual showing the tone breaks vs. ID numbers for the coin programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundscanner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I find the tone break info shown in my last posting to be a little confusing. It seems to indicate a sliding pitch for iron and then three additional tones. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding this? MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundscanner Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Noah, Like you I am a little confused by the manual info. I have not found any coins with mine just yet. I have only been relic hunting so far. Let us know if coins in the wild read differently from air test results. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT Probably won’t vary much in ground unless a coin were next to a nail or other lower conductor. The zinc cent giving a high tone is the deal breaker for me. Wouldn’t matter for old site/woods relic hunting but for school yard/parks it makea the screen/VDI necessary to wed out zincs. Same reason I don’t have a CZ. Guess I’ll stick with my current tools unless I go full Deus for the tone hunting versatility or maybe give the Equinox a go??? Till then I’ll keep on Kruzin’.
