Here goes another question, does anyone use 'pitch hold' as a response tone? I tried it out today, and it sounds quite cool, but is there any benefit of using it, i.e. is there a use for it?
Ironic that this post is here. I was reading Andy's book yesterday about it, as I hunt deeper old coins and relics, I've decided to try it on my next hunt.
I get annoyed hearing the same threshold tone so I use it for variety. It is supposed to let you know you passed a weak good signal but in my experience you either get a strong response or not....
So does Andy reckon it helps with hearing deep targets?
As I recall, he states that a deeper hit, that may be too faint a hit to hear, will still shift the threshold pitch. This shift in threshold alerts you to the missed hit so you can more intently investigate the spot.
