Hi!!...I am just curious since I do not use the Notch Feature on any of my detectors.....where do you set the Notch and why??....from your control settings looks like you have selected wide notch.....and your discriminator is set way lower than the nickel....I am not familiar with your detector so you are notching out the Pull Tabs??......I normally just set the discriminator low and just do the beep and dig method.....in a very trashy park would probably use the Notch feature....Thanks Joe....

The way I had it set today notched out everything from beaver tail pull tabs to screw caps. That notch range includes zinc pennies. The discrimination was set a good bit below sports drink foil caps on my detector. I adjust all of my Tesoro detectors to discriminate out nickels when it's dead on the five cent mark. If it wasn't so trashy today, I'd run the discrimination at 'iron' and no notch. It will take weeks of hard detecting to thin out the targets at that location. Then I'll come back with my Compadre to see if there's anything still in the ground worth digging.

That Sue B. Anthony dollar is a cool find. That alone would have made my day.

You mention notching out zinc pennies. I used to pass on zincs until I read that some small jewelery is detected in that range. Went back to digging them and the third one turned out to be a small, blackhills gold ring. Nearly all the time it'll turn out to be a zinc, but just often enough it turns out to be a goodie so don't pass them up. I thought it was frustrating enough dealing with tabs and bottle caps but better include zincs in the same class.j

Yeah, you're right about not notching the zinc pennies. Class Rings fall in the zinc range as well. This is one of the most dense target sites that have ever hunted. It seems like there is always a target or more under the coil. I was mainly using the wide notch to eliminate screw caps. Sometime I would dig and get several targets out the same hole.

you said you notched out zincs, but you found 50 or so. and some nickels. how good is the notch then? my three Tesoros are beep and dig, no meter, no notch, no ID. i do have an ed-180. i have a decision purchase to make soon. i need input. i need/want a park hunter. i have a relic unit.
Tabman - your results show that you are using an effective set-up. I'm sure the rings and other goodies (as well as more coins) will come. It sounds as if you may be the first detectorist there...if that's the case, then the results could be mindblowing. No need to tell you to keep at it. HH
