I think if you dig iron in this mode you are really stretching for a good signal it is that good trust me .Very hard to fool period.
Sube,
Something I don't see talked about very often, is that those of you blessed with extremely low iron mineralized ground have it made when hunting in FC.
Because in my ground...Colorado and New Mexico...if you hunt exclusively in FC, you'll get fooled and dig almost every nail in the ground. :(
The more iron mineralization there is in the ground, the more likely it is the CTX will call a nail a coin if using Ferrous Coin.
In other words, where the FC works great for you, as far as accuracy in your ground...it works horribly for me, and is the least trustworthy of all the modes.
I wanted to point this out because over the years, many guys have posted 'magic' programs almost exclusively using Ferrous Coin, and they simply don't work in all types of soil.
They certainly don't work in highly mineralized dirt.
Guys around here think they can use those 'magic' setting, then get so frustrated they want to smash and/or sell their CTX because one-size really doesn't fit all.
We need to occasionally point out that the CTX manual recommends different separation modes for different soils for a very good reason.
FC is absolutely a 'golden bullet' for non-mineralized soil...but for highly mineralized ground it's more of a 'lead balloon'.
And before I sign off, I have to say I'm also jealous of how nice your coins come out of the ground...they're beautiful. :)
Mosy of my old nickels and pennies look like crusty buttons in comparison...
HH, and thanks again for all the time you take experimenting and posting.
:)
