Slow sweep with AT Pro

[Kenkoehn1950]

Used my AT Pro for second time today and thought I would try Pro Mode. Slowed my sweep speed way down and seemed to pull my higher tones a lot easier. Discovered today that bottle
Caps come up same as quarters. Found a bunch of caps...not so many quarters.

them darn old bottle cap you can't be too quick to dig just turn re-sweep that seems to help..
but if you get them out there could be sum-then deeper and better hiding below them caps....

If you covered your meter and stay with a single tone machine and use less discrimination and DIG you will be surprised at what you find. With meter and tones some good things would be loss....But then again, look at all the ups and downs you would be missing and not getting as dirty as the single beep guy...

I don't run an AT however slowing your speed has a similar effect on most machines I've used. Aluminum caps and rusty pop caps have a round profile and similar conductivity pattern to the good stuff. I don't think there will ever be a way to eliminate this however after some experience and good observation I have found I can "discriminate" what I'm beeping on.
New places, dig it all for a bit and see what your detectors telling you. Often such targets show up at only a certain depth or can have slightly jumpy identification. Finding old stuff, slow it down and dig it anyway to get rid of the masking caps are good at making.

listen for the whispers of deep targets

Circle your target while swinging, those bottle caps will jump through all three tones...not always but 3 out of 4 caps...Im talking about the crimped on type caps...the screw on caps fool me no matter what I do.

AT Pro is one of the best detectors for ID'ing bottle caps.

This may help…
