Cleansweep coil and bottlecaps

[Gene]

How does the Cleansweep coil read bottlecaps ?
Being a wide scan coil do they register as coins ?
Just wondering as one of the places I hunt is just
absolutely loaded with Corona caps, rusted and not.
Being a jewelry hunter on sports fields this seems like
an excellent coil to have.
Any comments would certainly be appreciated.
Good hunting to you all ! Gene

Gene,
I can only speak for how it acts on the Cibola and Tejon I have. It produces a response very similar to what the standard and 5.75 inch concentric do; with the discriminator set at anywhere from middle of the word iron on up to foil, they sound off but have a sharp edge to the beep. The edge sharpness is enough that I can normally call them out as bottle caps. I dig them anyway to get them out of the way. Then I check the area again and sometimes I have a gift of another target a little deeper than the bottle cap that I really want to keep.

I don't normally turn the discriminator up much more than mid-foil anywhere I hunt, but have thumbed it up about as high as it will go over a bottle cap a couple of times and listened. The bottle caps don't really go away, although they do get a little more broken in the sound as the discriminator setting is higher. That is pretty much how the concentric coils behave on the Cibola and Tejon with bottle caps too.

Thanks for the great response tvr. You have told me what I wanted to hear.
I really do appreciate your detailed response. The cleansweep coil, no doubt,
would be a good coil for hunting jewelry on sports fields. After what you have
told me I just know so. Good hunting to you ! Gene

Good luck with your sports field hunts! I really like the cleansweep on a Tejon for many of those hunts.

If you are hearing the sharp edge on the beep with a standard coil on bottle caps, then you know what it sounds like. Pinpointing is a little different in that you use either end of the coil to see where the target goes away off of the tip of the coil. Once you get the feel for it, the pinpointing is very accurate. Not as deep as the standard coil, but covers a lot of area
Cheers,

Thanks again tvr. I am really anxious to get a Cleansweep now.
Not looking for depth just faster coverage of large areas.
Most of the gold jewelry I have found over the years on sports
fields has been less than 3" deep. There have been some exceptions
but most of it has been very shallow. Bet when I start using it my only
question will be why it took me so long to get one.
Thanks again for your advice. It has been very helpful in making up my
mind to get the Cleansweep. Good hunting to you ! Gene
