Bottlecaps

[CladDog]

One thing I love about the tesoros I have used is how well they ID most bottlecaps.

I have never used the LOBO or the TEJON.

Do they ID the bottelcaps as good?

I get fooled b bottle caps, especially the new one close to the suface

 

[CladDog]

Which detector are you using?

 

[D&P-OR]

What coils are you using also (DD's or concentrics)?----DD's have a harder time with b.c.'s.

CladDog, I can not help you with your question about them detectors. I don't have those 2. But I like digging BOTTLE CAPS... KEN

I have no use for bottlecaps. I find them entirely over rated.

The Tejon, with the discriminator set to knock out a very small nail, will beep solidly on a bottle cap. The beep has a clicking or sharp sound on the edges of the beep with the middle of the beep full like you would get on a quarter. On a quarter the edges are smooth sounding as the beep starts and ends. The edge of the beep is what is important in the ID.

When I hear the sound, I'll tell myself "I think it's a bottle cap". Many times it is, sometimes it isn't. I dig them anyway to get them out of the way and to make sure it isn't a good target masquerading as a bottle cap (sometimes that happens too).

PS If you like to fish, you can make lures with bottle caps. Do a search on "bottle cap fishing lures" and you will find all sorts of examples!

Well, I have a bag of 'em you can have a ball with then!-----We've gotten written on the bag "Americas worst offenders" (I'm serious)! -----They came in REALLY high reading on different detectors.-----They are my souveniers & no---nobody ever accused me of being "normal"!!

Well thanks for the answers. I thought the Tejon and Lobo would be hot on bottlecaps given their internal settings.

I think we should start saving them BOTTLE CAPS. Maybe 100 years from now they might be worth some BIG $$$$$$.... KEN

 

[CladDog]

I think there's a video game out there set in an apocalyptic future where bottlecaps are used as currency.....

The Tesoros and Whites that I've used seem to find bottle caps quite well.

Amen to that. Sometimes a bit difficult to sort out. Part of the game.
