u saw where frame 3 will miss the big class rings......sepro and extII the same with pennies rejected.

THE ONE GOOD THING SO FAR - for me anyway......frame 1 with pennies rejected, WHEN U SWING OVER ONE, IT SAYS PENNY AND GOOD SOUND, BUT PUTS A RED (DO NOT DIG ME) TRIANGLE ON TOP OF THE NUMBER.
so u can dig or not dig....i tested 5 or 6 yesterday and all reds were pennies............

i think i have the key to bottle caps also...............more testing

No way would I disc out zinc's. I have dug plenty of gold in the zinc range. You just never know, however, I will dig a good repeatable signal even in the trash range if it sounds good. I know plenty of guys who run fancy disc patterns, funny thing is though, I seem to have better "luck" than they do

I agree Marc, I've always said, the harder (or smarter) you work, the "luckier" you'll get. Even with the refined 35 FE X 50 CO "bins" (1750 possible combinations), metallic properties vary with size, shape etc. Simply stated, a metal detector is able to detect metal objects. It is not a magic wand. It is science. Recognizing what targets are rejected or accepted with a given "level" of discrimination is knowledge. Knowing how to maximize the detector's performance by applying both science and knowledge, is a skill. JMHO HH Randy

I once was bored in a park with few signals and decided to dig a solid zinc penny signal, it turned out to be a semi-rare 1/10 ounce gold panda coin in a bezel. I usually dig zincs in the water. But if you are overwhelmed by zincs and short of time maybe it makes sense to knock them out.
