In the jesse james segment, they detected the canning jar lid at notch 2 even tho it had silver dollars and gold coins also. So, if you are looking for a cache of coins in a jar, it will not register as a B targer, but a C or D, due to the metal conductivity of the canning jar?

Your signal always picks up the first metal it comes in contact with no matter what is under it or in it.

That's why you should dig everything when cache hunting. It was common to bury money(gold and silver coins) in iron pots(or mason jars, too). So, that large iron signal could be that proverbial "POT O' GOLD"!

Yeah your signal always stops dead at the first target it encounters regardless of what is beneath it. You could have five coins within the signal cone at different levels and your coil will only see the top coin closest to the coil. That's why chains are so difficult to detect because your coil only sees one link at a time - not the whole chain - and the link closest to the coil. Multiple coins at the same level will emit a wide signal as your coil sees all of them as one target. Many people walk away from a pile like this thinking it is a junk signal. Check the three Franklin halves I recovered during my field test of the Pro-Pointer.
