Etrac's ability to separate

[Ohio Digger]

I've seen a lot of videos of users finding coins in the same hole as a nail. Do many users find coins in the same hole as a pulltab? I come across more pulltabs in the parks I hunt than I do iron nails. My DFX really struggles at separating them even in air tests. I don't disc the pulltab range out in hopes that if there is something nearby I will be able to get both signals. I've tried different sweep speeds as well as adjusted recovery speed but to no avail.

In order for any detector to separate a coin mixed in with a pulltab - you'd have to have pulltabs disc'ed out so that you can tell you're hitting a coin target mixed in with something unwanted (you'd lose out on old nickels though).

Or

you can listen to the tones and if you're getting a high/med mixed tone - just dig based on that and hope for the best - those are the only 2 options we have at the moment with detector technology as it stands

it's easy for separation of iron/coin because you can hear the iron low tone and the high coin tone mixed in OR disc out iron and hear only the higher tone/s

of course there's always the cases of being fooled on deep iron as all machines tend to do but after many yrs detecting - 9.5xs out of 10 you know if it's deep iron or not!
