My results can be slightly different, depending on soil conditions. What I normally see that varies from your findings:

zinc pennies: 34,35
copper pennies: 36,37,38 (orientation seems to play into this)
nickels: 14,15,16 (DAMN those pulltabs!)
silver dimes and quarters: 39 (actually silver Anything is always 39 for me)
bottle caps from 9 to hi teens
foil 9 thru 12
i dont want to even know how you place a # on steel toe rings

i once found a clad quarter at 16 in saturated soil. nothing else near the hole. i cannot explain it.

I'm still trying to figure out why the 1843 seated half dime I found on the weekend rang in at 32-33 ???? STRANGE !!!! I'm gonna have to run the coil over it again at home and see if its still ringing at that.

That's interesting with your half dime. I have a 1921 Morgan silver dollar that I got off my Dad who's had it since the '50's and it too reads around 33 but only on the Safari. On the other machines I used it read higher than a silver quarter, on the Safari, lower than a silver quarter.

I think it's great that these charts are out there. I hope to make mine as soon as it thaws and share what I find.
