Pattern 2 setup

[garydl63]

Hi Guys
Just set up the pattern 2 accept ..reject. Managed to reject all pulltabs and ring pulls. All Australian coins from pre-decimal to modern accepted. The only coin i Could'nt accept was the 20c piece... as it falls into a certain pulltab range. Maybe i should accept this and chance digging a 20c or a pulltab.

Gary,
at least half the time they will be a 20c.
When you hit 20-22 on the TID flick over to prospect. If its a 20c it will give you a beautiful, crisp, zap, zap, zap as you wave your coil over it. Its a much more distinctive signal than a pulltab or ringpull.
With practice most of the time you get it right.
But to be honest, I dig even the iffy ones just to be sure. Sometimes its a coin thats a bit deeper than most and as such it will sound a bit faint.
Also I only use the 18.75 khz 10x5 dd coil. Much prefer it to the standard coil the machine comes with.

Cheers.

Lou.

I love the elliptical DD coil for everything and anything although I prefer the stock coil for coins in parks and school grounds ect. I have used every coil bar the 3khz and find all coils are pretty damn good regardless what you do with them. I have even used the standard coil in prospect mode on a gold field with good results although I did have to turn down the sensitivity a bit I too live in Cairns and love the area we have. I sure am looking forward to using the 6" DD at some local water holes this summer......................a cool dip and some detecting, what more could a man want besides a keg hooked up to the back of the truck
Cheers!

That's a great little tip Lou. The 70 sure does have some neat little tricks that you can do with it.
Thanks.

u will also notice that the early 3 pence will hit at 20 as well, specially if its deep
