Pulling tabs at my favorite spot, and a few coins

[Bucksport]

Went over to my "goto" spot today for a bit. Only had an hour, but decided to give the Eurotek pro some leg work. I consistently pull the older tabs from this ball field. It never disappoints me
I was impressed when I got a good "zinc" number. It was solid, so I dug it. First thing that popped up around 5" was one of the round foil things. Pinpointed again to make sure that was all. Below that was a green encrusted mem penny, and sitting directly below that was the larger rusty nail. This is my second season with this machine, and it continues to impress me
HH all

By gosh I'd get one myself if it burned dubbleA's....it seems to be a very good rig, priced right...etc...its just that I use dubbleA's in everything around here, from the garage door to the smoke alarms....

Have you figured out how to tell the difference between beaver tails/pull tabs and coins on the ETPro? Just curious

I am going to say yes on this.
A solid 57 is almost always a nickel
A bouncing 57-59 is almost always a stay tab
A bouncing 60-63 is almost always a beaver tab, unless the ring is partially crushed, then the numbers fall lower towards the stay tab range
A 77-78 is usually a zinc penny
A 84 is usually a copper penny or a dime
A 89-90 is usually a quarter
This is from my one year experience with the Eurotek.
Notice I used the words "almost always" and "usually"? These are the standard words to use because of soil variances.

Thank you very much for this information Bucksport! Are you setting your disc higher or no?


Thanks again

Glad I can help.
I have my disc saved at 50. To me that is a good cherry picking setting. I will occasionally change it depending on the location.
Usually at the end of a hunt I set it up to about 77, that way I get the VCO on zinc pennies. I am usually lazy and tired at that point, so I skip them
