deleon and 95's

Tesoro's approach, with both the Cortez and de Leon, is amore limited scale bunching a lot of targets up in that high 95 range. The de Leon is even more limited.
Like any detector with Target ID the visual display readout is going to be governed by the Target size, shape, distance from the search coil, and especially it's conductivity properties.
There are a lot of targets that will register in the upper range of a Target ID detector. With most detectors your good copper pennies and other copper coins as well as clad coins and silver coins are all higher conductivity targets. Many detectors will have them spread out over a little bit more definable range.
The Tesoro de Leon will lump most of those higher conductors to register with a numeric 95 read out. Unfortunately, many unwanted targets, such as discarded soda cans and the like, can't reduce higher numeric readouts or visual Target ID readouts that on some models will read Penny, dime, quarter, half, Etc.
The best thing a user can do is learn how to use the pinpoint mode or all-metal mode to size and shape a Target. If they suspect the target might be a can or another large object, that can be indicated by raising the search coil above the ground while sweeping the coil left and right. If the coil is raised higher than what it's able to be raised for a single coin, that's the suggestion you have a big Target.
But that only indicates It's something larger than a single coin, but it does not really tell you if it's a good Target for a bad Target. Only that it's a larger size Target.
If you're new to the metal detecting Hobby, and the de Leon is your first detector or at least your first with visual Target ID, just read the manual several times and learn all you can using the detector a field to help Define smaller size from larger size targets

Don't just use the 95. The point of the Deleon is to use Audio like all Tesoros, the number on the TID as well as the probability graph. When it says 95 and silver it is either a silver, a quarter, or aluminum. However, if switched to all metal in that situation you could check target size to rule out large can slaw. However nothing is perfect and you could still dig can slaw. Sometimes you'll get a 95 but have the graph showing multiple or single bars in other areas. This can be trash. In time you will learn to use sound, number and graph together.
If you read the manual it will show a few examples where the numbers can be the same but by interpreting the probability graph you can get a better idea of what's under the coil.
It's all a learning experience. It takes time, but the Deleon remains my favorite coin shooter in my arsenal.
