"STOMPING METHOD" Gets More Coins, Less Junk :twodetecting:

Just tell them you're practicing a new dance or scaring the gophers away.

I accidentally discovered a way to distinguish old rusty bottle caps from real coins. I was hunting some real old parks, just loaded with old rusty bottle caps several years ago, and was ready to give up as many others had. Something was strange about those bottle caps? Once they were out of the ground, most would remained sounding like bottle caps. But, the odd one, after missing it the first time with my digger trying to retrieve it, changed from reading as a bottle cap to reading as a coin, either copper or silver. Why? My guess is that the copper or silver coins over time developed a layer of oxides around itself in the soil matrix. Some people have called it the "HALO EFFECT". And this developed layer changed the original conductivity from reading as a coin to now reading as a bottle cap. Well, if a person could break this halo while the coin was in it's original lost position, the conductivity should change it from reading as a bottle cap to reading as a coin.

So, I spent the next hour stomping real hard on top of my bottle cap readings, and low and behold, out of some thirty bottle cap hits, 3 of them changed there conductivity from reading as a bottle cap to a coin reading. I dug them and out came 3 old silver coins. I was ecstatic! I broke the code....

So, in summary, if you don't want to dig all targets, or end up in a very old area littered with those old bottle caps, stomp your foot over the target real hard, the coins will start reading as coins. Also, if you get iffy signals, the ones where the target bounced back between iron and coin, give it a stomp too! more often then not, it will now read as a coin or iron.

John,
I saw this on T-Net and was intriqued by the method. In the last 2 days I have stomped on over 60 bottlecap readings (Not screw caps but church key open type caps), and not a one has changed readings.

After digging them all out anyway, I did notice some rust on all the caps.....but they were newer aluminum based metal ones, not the old tin style from 20+ years ago.
Does this method only work on the old heavier metal caps or on the newer aluminum based metal ones also????.

Also does this method work on any brand detector, or just Garretts????

Thanks for the tip John
But does that also work with the Infinium being a PI?

Sorry about the triple question, it didn't seem to be taking they ended up on the next page!

I am going out this weekend. I will give it a try John.

Try prying the soil a little with your digger to break up the halo.

Make sure that no one is around when you do this so they don't put you away into a funny farm.Just a joke, I'll have to try that.
