What settings do people use to try to eliminate trash, like beer tops or old pop tabs... Just got the pro last week. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I mostly hunt at parks and beaches.
Yup, in most cases that's true. Some old junky parks where you just want to find old silver and Indians, I might kill off the tabs too. Do an air test with a tab and/or bottle cap. Crank up the discrimination to where they don't register and give it a try. It will ignore gold, nickels, and other low conductive metals doing this so I only do it as a last resort if I just have to hunt a place that bad.You really don't want to discriminate pull tabs out if you want to find gold. Especially at the beach! If you do, from penny down will silence those tones
You need to get out of standard and into the pro mode ! The tones mine makes in pro coin are fantastic and easy for my ears to read, bottle caps come in as a 78 every time on mine and pull tabs are form mid 50's to mid 60ish, give the pro mode a shot, I think you will be surprised. HHI have an At Pro as well, I took it to the beach and park so far. It is hard to get use to the numbers jumping around (even if it is a coin)
I use the standard / coin mode with the dec. set at 40. and Iron off. I have done testing with coins, caps, and tabs. It is hard to figure out what is good vs. junk. I have watched tones of Youtube video on the At Pro. it is like they have a different machine then what I have.
The good thing is if there is metal in the ground it will pick it up. I was digging alot of gum foil at the beach. I hit the elem. button on that number and it keep beeping. When I went over foil. I read something that said it takes about 100 hrs. to figure out the good and bad sounds.
I have detected for years with the Whites Surfmaster PI, if there is metal it picks it up. I wanted a new machine to discriminate.
I have about 10 hrs on the AT PRO, so maybe 90 hrs I will be a pro.
