I usually pass up shallow stuff and come out with old crap, no matter what it is I dig. I cant stand digging clad. But that's just me.
 
I all depends on the site if I dig all or cherry pick..
 
I usually feel too rushed to dig everything because I only am able to go detecting for an hour or two at a time after work. Unfortunately, I end up doing alot of "skimming".
 
Cherry picker

Dig Mid Tones and disruptive signals only with the Minelabs Excalibur in PP mode with remote Discrimination button, long reach shaft on most beach's

Double discrimination..excal nulls on iron (Ferrous) when I push the button, and gives a tone on nonferrous targets..then I discriminate the tones by digging mids & disruptive only..missing most coins except nickles, and zinc's that are breaking down. I do miss silver coins, but do get several pieces of silver jewelery n do well on the gold..This gives me time to cover greater distance looking for the gold signals, plus with a reach of 9 feet radius and hunting in PP I can cover more ground of the treasure lane..........PP mode you can swing faster with the excal, and get better target separation. obn/joe



Think I missed anything.......
 
I cherry pick but one day I decided to dig what appeared to be a foil signal, it turned out to be 14K white gold pendant with diamonds.

Not that I find a whole lot but that day I was video taping the hunt and got it on camera start to finish.

advance video to 4:50
 
I have been digging everything nickel and above.
