Discovered Another Little Tip For The 1500 Users

Out hunting today with some friends, and tried another trick I discovered a couple of weeks ago while hunting. I was in an area where there were soooo many bottlecaps and twist caps. A lot of the twist tops read around at or below the penny mark. I always dig my pennies, as I have had many surprises with what came out of the ground. Well, I discovered that if the twisttop or bottlecap(?) is very shallow, and you just run the toe of the coil over the target, a bottle cap and twist top will give that over-load ringing. Mmmmmm, I dug every one of these, and sure enough, all were junk targets. But, the deeper ones still rang as a penny or below reading. So, I now have another shortcut to leave some of those pesky things in the ground! This machine is so much fun to use. <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">
My last ring was again dug, because I learned that little trick from my test garden. If a deep signal reads at the far left of the screen, and gives that low sound in zero discrimination, locks on fairly well (depth reading does not have to be stable) AND at times reads in the coin range, then "DIG IT". If you remove about 3/4 of the dirt above it, it should start reading as a decent signal, as you have removed some of that mineralization.
Good Luck! Hope This Helps....
 
Great Tip John! These are the kind of things that help all to know the detector better, and what it is trying to tell them.
I dig a lot of iffy signals when there is some depth envolved, cause I learned years ago that by digging those signals I pulled a lot of good items out of the hole. A lot of deeper targets get at the range of the detectors id capabilities, and thats how it is trying to report a good target that is deep in that range.
It does pay to dig!

Yeah since all detectors will detect deeper than they can ID it pays to dig. The most accurate discriminator is still your digging tool. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
