This evening while detecting I was digging the usual - coins & junk - and I was using the coin & jewelery program
Anyway, on one target I got a VDI hit that looked like a penny at 3-1/4" so of course further checking is the norm.
So I run in pinpoint to locate the target X-ing and the 22.5 kHz bar was the strongest, and target about the size of a penny/dime.
Then in analyze it also showed the 22.5 kHz , and the hump pattern width was about the size of a penny/dime.
The 2.5 kHz was the weakest signal - so of course digging was the next option.
Now I don't find many pins for some reason, and this didn't run a low VDI like many gold rings - I started out thinking penny at the beginning, but then the additional information the Vision provides caught my attention on this one.
So anyway up pops a little pin near the size of a penny ---

Not no big deal but like I say, I don't find many pins. This came up better condition than all the coins I dug this evening (no silver or gold coins).
If I was into cherry picking for dimes and quarters only then I would ignore nickel & penny VDI readings for one thing, but I don't cherry pick. But I would probably still look at the readings while searching, then what comes to mind is the color & pattern the normal search screen shows, the color & strength of the pinpoint bars, then the analyze mode hump pattern, colors and sizing. So the 3 frequencies along with the additional information as stated - just thought it was kind of neat - and like I say, it ain't much but it wasn't a penny, I don't find many pins - and all the while the wife and a couple of her friends watching closely, one had already starting to clue in and had said "that must be another penny" (she was catching on), but I said "I don't think so".
Oh well, not many pins and I know nothing about them - no big deal - just a little more information the Vision can provide.
Same as the 83 quarter reading but the 2.5 kHz being strongest - usually is a quarter instead of those pesky bottle caps.
