Cortes and bottle screw caps / pull tabs

[Anonymous]

Hello everybody !
I love beach hunting.
I would like to know if the Cortes analyse screw caps like coins.
Indeed, my sovereign has difficulties to make difference between. So, I often dig caps.
And what about pull tabs ?
And finally, do you find it good at beach hunt ? (false signal on salt water...)
Thank's a lot,
St

Thank you very much Monte for this earliest answer !
This is a complete response to my questions I have to study precisely.
To answer you, Monte :
I'm leaving in Saint Nazaire on the Atlantic French Coast.
This fabulous town has a heavy history made of war and workers crises.
There is a lot of historic links with American people I can tell you more later.
Well I do beach hunting as well as in land hunts where the sov isn't always very easy to use because of his weight. I need to put the control housing on my belt. With all the problems this generate. A Cortes could be a possibility.
I havn't ID meter or probe but own sunray S-12 and S-5.
My problems :
You tell me "The only problem I have with your questions is that they all relate to hunting for coins on a beach. Due to the easy-to-recover conditions at a beach it's best to remove all targets that respond."
I agree with that, but, on wet sand, I usually dig very deep holes that rapidly become full of salt water. This makes targets very difficult to recover ! Wet sand fall into the water and the target move slightly.
A long time of hard work to recover screwcaps and tabs !!!
And there is so much screwcaps... So sometimes, I tire of digging !
But, anyway, I keep on digging...
So, I understand that a Cortes could be useful for a easier coins hunts (on dry sand), forgetting the wet areas, and perhaps for relics hunts (where I would like a easier use).
A Cortes could be the second machine I need.
Am I right ?

You are so right Monte about pull tabs and nickles. I knew my Cortez said pull tabs were 60 pretty much dead on. Walked over many of them. I was talking to my brother about nickles and not finding them so he "loaned" me a buffalo and yep, 60. Guess I will have to go back and "pull" those tabs one more time. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
