Double bling on dimes with 2500-is this common?

[GetRdone]

I have dug several dimes and have noticed that they seem to have a double bling on some and not others, is this normal for the 2500, also do one sided bling sounds, indicate that the coin is slanted in the ground, and that is the reason for the one sided hit, any imput would be appreciated.

Were your coins on edge or less than an inch down? I don't have a 2500 but know on other detectors this can give you a double beep.

Some of the dimes were not deep, maybe thats the reason, I know with the old Garrett ADS111, some coins would hit solid one way and not the other and was wondering if the 2500 reacted the same way, thanks for you input Khouse.

If they are really shallow, they probably will give a double bling......

If they ( and quarters ) are shallow your detector will sound like a ringing phone.

Bill, what about the question of the one sided hits on targets, does it hold true, like with the old ADS machines, that sometimes the coins are on a angle or edge in the ground, which accounts for this, one sided hit, whats your or anyones opinion?

Sometimes an ultra slow sweep will double beep.

Read your post on finding nickels with the 250, tried it yesterday afternoon with the 2500, found 5 nickels, had been barren till then, Thanks.

If you get a one blip hit do the "twitch" over the target and you'll generally get a two-way signal if it's a good target. Corroded dimes will often give a one-way signal but the twitch brings them out. SAme for a coin on edge.

There's and old trick for coins you think are on edge. Tilt the coil at an angle and walk a circle around the target while scanning. The signal will go into the ground on an angle and when it hits the flat side of the coin you will get a standard signal. This also works up against foundations, fence posts, etc.
