Metal pieces that show up as zincs

[kiana7]

I dug a lot of junk,as I was coming seen another md'er going but I think he was doing wet sand..Oh those metal pieces from the fire pit,I kept practicing the different tones today,managed to find some coins,HH

The MD only reports on the conductivity of the target, not its actual id. A coin laying at an angle will give a different reading if you bother to look at the meter and not trust your ears.

I did read my meter,it also rang in as ring,coin,and zinc as well as sound..When I get a target,I always read my meter & decide to dig or not,,but from reading this forum they say dig those zincs b/c you never know,,all those caps & iron pieces,I dug up b/c also on this forum they said to discard all trash,which so so so many md'ers pass by & I know it's trash,but I just don't have the skill to pass it by Also on pull tabs they say you don't pass it up b/c it could be a ring,,The other day @ the park I found a ring reading zinc in the 70's,,,thank goodness I did'nt pass it up,& also a bracelet...I really enjoy all feedbacks b/c it's a learning process for me,,,

The more you dig, the more you learn by remembering the tone when you see the target in your scoop.

My daily take looks about the same as yours. only a couple of keepers yet this year. A 1919 Buffalo and a 1953 Benjamin. No gold or jewels yet this season. The hunt is my form of physical therapy, no co-pay + benefits.

You have right Denis. That whats i call the detecting is gold. Happy hunting.
