I've got it on 2 tones how high up the horizontal should the 2 tones be set to suit uk coinage please or should I be using a diff program or stick to 1 tone and just dig on the 1 tone as aren't too fussed higher tone for silver etc Should be getting the Andy sabbish book for Christmas but will b out 4 times pry so don't want to b doing a school boy error Any help would b great please. Eg Rec fast Rec deep etc on/off. Thanks junior x; x;

Try this....Keep the tadpole, use manual sens max, multi-tones conductive & dig any two way signals(regardless of tone)....don't look at the screen!! ::g

Be lucky ::g

Hi junior
Have had the CTX for nine months and still learning, but for my ten penny's worth l use tadpole 4 and ghost 4 to check out the signals for iron and recovery deep on and 50 conductive and sensitivity set between 25 to 30 hope this helps swing low and slow and be patient .

Cheers Simon

Multi tone all the way, bottom of the screen blocks (discrimination) anywhere upwards is where the decent stuff is (generally) ::g ::g
