If you're on a cache site you don't want to use alot of disc. Caches could be buried in any kind of container.

correct with the 2 box it is always in all metal mode and you have to dig everything even the faintest and jumpy signals. There is also really no way to tell how deep either. Even without the 2 box if you are cache hunting go all metal it gives you the deeper signals and you do not want to disc. out anything. The detector will pick up the metal box, lid from a jar, iron pot not so much the coins and if it does happen to pick up a coins it probably would be an iffy signal. Just remeber to research research other wise you are wandering around an area god knows how big without a clue, digging every piece of junk out there from the past 200yrs. Good Luck!

To answer your question; no.. a metal detector will only detect the outer container if it is made of metal.

A large iron box will usually give such a strong return that it will break through your discriminator
circuit, but it is always better to cache hunt without discrimination. Frank

Just bought a Garrett Master Hunter. Have done a little coinshooting but am going to try my hand at cache hunting. My question is ...... if I'm hunting in discriminate mode, and a cache of coins is buried in a metal box, would the coins inside the box still give a signal?

Thanks,

For Cache hunting, never, ever hunt in discriminate mode, always hunt in "All Metal". Actually, if you're using the Garrett Master Hunter with the two box "Bloodhood" it will never detect in discrimination mode. I had an experience detecting a big Spanish cache of gold coins in a farm with a Garrett Master Hunter CXII attached with the two boxes. When I detect the spot, the sound was very strong.
