Alright,,
First of all,,,Deus will read read iron on top of the ground differently vs being buried and undisturbed.
Try this experiment,, get you a 2" wide roll of tape,,2 each 12 penny nails, and one nickel and clad dime.
Over clean ground,, lay the roll of tape down,, place one of the coins in the middle,,place one nail on the lip of roll of tape,, one on each side,,,,as you look down at the roll of tape,, nails should be facing in the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock,positions orientation wise.
Take your Deus,, with 9" coil,, Deus fast program,, put silencer setting to -1 and sweep over experiment.... You should hear the coin,, Cary your coil height some while sweeping to see effects. You go up reactivity to 4 and try to.
With 11" coil,,do the same,, reactivity level 4 may be needed to get the coins. Listen to the tone transition.
Do this with each coin individually inside the roll of tape.
Now,,,when you hit iron the field,,sometimes it will tingle a bit of higher tone,,,turn 90 degrees--- lot of times you will hear hard iron fault tone,,meter reading of 04,05 likely,,definitely a blunt sounding tone. This procedure though is not absolute--- a good target good be there,,, but will suffice most times.
Now iron can sound almost like a good nonferrous target,,, but listen,, is the good tone coming in chopped or abrupt with coil movement---- likely iron,,,, if the signal comes in smoother or gradual sounding--- probably nonferrous target
Sometimes a good nonferrous signal will be caught in the middle-- not good sounding,, but not bad sounding either,,, and meter reading reads below disc setting.
And I will say,, forget the meter readings,, nonferrous targets in full tones can read 00,01,02,03,04,05,, etc. you get the picture??? Tone is the driver not the meter.
Full tones used in modern trash can be done,,, but using some notch might help get rid of some of the lower conductor junk targets.
This info if studied will help you.
Remember Deus, meter readings,, tones,, and disc all divorced--- meaning tone is the driver,,listen to it.
