Eurotek Pro with Concentric Coil

With the concentric coil on the detector, how high to you need to set discrimination before bottlecaps begin to given a broken sound?
 
I don't have a Eurotek but detectors from the same make (First Texas). Wouldn't the concentric coil ignore most bottle caps outright ? Granted my concentric is not the same as yours I think but the outcome should be similar. Bottle caps are never a problem with the stock concentric on my F5.

If I'd want to discriminate bottle caps when I put a DD coil on, I'd have to set discrimination quite high as most bottle caps will read in the seventies or eighties.
 
Hi DFMike. I wasn't sure. Most units with concentric coils do pretty well once you set your discrimination just above iron, but I was not certain that would apply in every case.
 
I used the exact detector coil combo your asking about and it did great I didn't dig the first bottle cap. The only downside to this setup is it hurts the separation speed compared to using the DD coil.
 
I did not use any disc on the eurotek. Just learn the VDI number for the screwcaps and keep on trucking
 
Set Disc to 40 and it will ignore bottlecaps if you use the round coil. The ETP with the 8 inch round coil is one of the best when it comes to bottlecap rejection.

If you ever use the 11" DD coil bottlecaps show up with a much higher VDI number. If the VDI bounces from a high number to a low it is a bottlecap most of the time. Run Disc at 0 to be able to hear the Iron sound.
