    A case for cancelling out pennies and one for digging them

    Tonight I counted my clads and pennies for the past few months. I had 678 pennies. This almost 700 times I had to stop hunting and dig. What a waste of time. Today I hunted a tot lot and cancelled out pennies. Several times I got a one way bell tone that would disappear or continue one way...

    Tried hunting for only gold rings today.

    Today I set my machine to descriminate everything below foil and everything from below pennies up. Hunted four hours and dug more pull tabs, foil and bottle caps than I have total all year. The only thing I found worth five cents were nickels. Going to keep trying at other locations until I...

    Hunting in the pin pointing mode

    I noticed that someone mentioned hunting around metal posts in the pin point mode. When I push and hold the pin point button on my 2500, it always shows the object to be what ever was the last target identification. That is, if I hit a coin before searching around the pole, it will show...

    Is it time to get out of the DFW immediate area?

    The way I figure it, all the old picnic groves and rural areas where coins were lost are now engulfed by the suburbs that have become large cities. Every thing I research seems to be under concrete or residential housing. Tired of searching the same parks and schools that everyone else has and...

    Pinpointing question

    2500 machine. When I pin point, the find always seems to be a couple of inches lower or to the lower right side of where I think it should be. Question 1 - Do you place the coil on the ground or try to keep it at the same height as detecting? Question 2 - Is there a way to detune the 2500...

    Coin hunter frustration.

    I have always considered myself purely a coin hunter with a infrequent ring find. Back in the day when you found silver at any hunting site, you could get a good coin collection and build on it. Now I am an infrequent coin finder and an infrequent ring finder. Advice please on the best...

    Question on learning sounds

    Several posts in this forum talk about learning the sounds on your detector. I could destinquish sounds in the old days on TR's but since I started using Garrett machines I can't tell one sound from another. Question - Garrett users, can you destinquish sounds? Explain.

    Iron bottle caps

    On my GTI 2500, old flattened bottle caps give a bell tone and read as dimes. Why would something made out of iron read as silver?

    Anyone else find this to be true?

    This is weird but over the years, almost every good find I have made has been during the first few swings of the coil. 1837 half dime found first sweep of the detector. Another day two 1853 dimes found within 6 inches of each other in the first few sweeps. Went to old fair ground to show my...

    tot lot description

    Are the good tot lots in wealthy neighborhoods? Are they big? My local kids playgrounds have not yielded anything other than a few pennies.

    This forum has helped immensely.

    I have read posts from the last 80 pages of this forum so far and will continue until I read all that I see interesting until all 370 or so are read. My 2500 has always falsed a lot. Today I ran the coil cable straight up the shaft for the first time and lowered the sensitivity some. I had...

    What does it mean at the bottom of each page, floating threads disabled?

    Next question - Surface elimination

    Does surface elimination just mask the junk on top or does it ignore it? I assume it just descrimates it out and anything closely under it will be ignored also.

    new member with lots of questions

    Ran across this forum and became very interested, especially with people going 20 or 30 inches deep. I've never been over 10 inches and wanted to quit digging long before that. First question - when I get several sounds on a sweep and go back over it and get nothing, is it my detector acting...
