Bell tone question.

[Mick in Dubbo]

Does the bell tone feature work below the 1 cent notch? I have had it do it only once, on a 20 cent piece which comes in at 2 notches below this point. I have dug up a few coins that didn't bell tone, and they were almost all below this point. Here in Oz, the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent coins all fall below this point.
Thanks for any input.

It's programmed to belltone on all American coins except the nickel which beeps. Dirty, corroded pennies will beep also. Anything in the same conductive range as the aforementioned coins will belltone.

What Bill said, mostly. THe garrett's are designed around United States coins. The Belltones, indeed the entire discrimnation suite, reacts differently on foreign coins, to hear others tell it.

It seems that, in general, the reactions are similar and you should retrieve whatever signals in the coin ranges

But there are those coins around the world that seem to defy the "cataloguing" effect of the discrimination circuits we depend on so much. Wanna know what the best way to know for sure is?...
