To tell the difference between a bottlecap and coins:
When you hear the coin "ding" put the AT-Pro in Pro mode then scroll down to all metal (Zero)
Then turn on iron audio. Now sweep the coil back over the target.
If it is a bottlecap you will hear the tone change slightly right as the coil approaches the bottle cap, then a higher Pro mode tone as it is over the cap, then a lower tone as it passes the cap.
At first it will be a very faint sound to you until you do it enough to reconise the difference.
Try this in your yard with a couple of different bottlecaps and a quater.
Keep waiving the coil over the caps until you can recognize the change in tones.
The quater will only have one tone.
Remember in the field when this happens to step to the side and sweep the coil back over the target. That way you might single it out from other trash that may be close by and get a more accurate sound.
