Bottle caps and Canadian clad.

[rockpup1]

I noticed bottle caps will respond like the newer modern Canadian clad.Its so hard to detect our modern clad I notice that the Major part of my change is under the year 2000.I dont think I have found much newer clad other than very recent dropped coins.
I ignore the broken jumpy VDI they act much like bottle caps and depending on your swing angle can really vary the VDI number's.

I think there's a few other Canadian guys using gold bugs.Just wondering if you find alot of real new clad or mostly the older stuff.
Also what kind of targets do you dig,do you dig those weird jumpy signals.?

Sounds like our Aussie coins what are they made of?

bottle tops will VDI the same numbers as coins but if i listen hard there is a difference hunting with ears is better than numbers as Monte would say?

having said all that i still find myself saying you got me again to the bottle top but the more i hunt the less i say it
coins right on the surface will machine gun i like hearing machine gun sounds now most likely a few coins on the surface or the last gold ring i found machine gunned real fast but looking at the screen it was only jumping 2 numbers.

Having the same problem here just wanted to see if you tried Dave J bottle cap method? Also went to an area that me and my Dad hunted before and I am still pulling older stuff out of there.

Hmm looks like I will have to try and dig those good sounds like you say-I do notice a differance in the more rusty caps.Ohh well-in time.It does hit the silver real nice.Real surprised how well it hit on the small silver ring I found.It is a nickle magnet and the only other machine I found as good on nickles was my mxt.

At old sites I do good with the dave J metheod-its just trying that at new sites,I am sure it makes me miss clad, I think is bottle caps.

I now need that 11" for the deeper stuff. I will have to try it out in the oldest park in town today with all the rain the ground should give up some deep stuff.Come on silver!!

you guys coins are in the 80's ? mine are in the high 70's 80 max any more than 80 i keep walking says he who uses sound also if i get 76 i just keep going 99.9 percent its a bottle top, i have noticed that a lot of tops come in the low 80's so i can understand how they would be more of prob for you guys. silver coins come the 80's for me but i haven't been hunting them much.

having said all that its still sound that gets my attention 1st.

try putting the coil over the target and just wiggle it real fast and watch the screen see what it does also listen see if it brakes up or gets scratchy?

but if in doubt dig it out

Amberjack --

The only more modern coin we have that hits UNDER 80 is a zinc penny (and of course nickels -- way down around 5. Our copper pennies hit at 83, and quarters, dimes, and silver coins all hit from 83/84 (dimes) up to the upper 80s.

grab a canadian dime stick it to a magent-I think thats the problem in time they become magnetic.Causing some crazy readings and sounds.
