Just a guesstimation, but, how many targets were keepers (coins, relics, doodads, etc.) that were over 8" that the TDI called iron?

I can't answer that question. The TDI doesn't ID like that. It has 2 tones. High and low. Low is high conductor and high is low conductor. Iron can go either way. If you ground balance properly most iron will low tone like a high conductor. You can set the ground balance low and cause most iron to high tone like low conductor. So if you want to dig low conductive targets you can set your machine to dig almost no iron and no foil. I did that for a while today and it's fun. You don't know what you might find. I did find that there are hot rocks that will scream low conductor. I dig no slag. It is there. It drives the pinpointer nuts, but the TDI sees right through it. Amazing. Even some of the dirt I dug was so mineralized that the TRX was going off all over the dug dirt. I would have to use another machine side by side to see what things ID as. Would be interesting, but I will never do it.
That's my like button!
