G2/GBPRO and bottlecaps

[bubbadirect]

I think I Finally figured out how to not dig all these old bottle caps. First of all, if you are in a park with lots of pull tabs, bottlecaps, etc (in disc mode), and you get a higher signal (75 to 84) and it is shallow and strong, then chances are it's a bottlecap. And if you get that deep, faint signal, that's kinda iffy (and maybe reading in the same range), immediately switch it to AMM and see what number you get. If it's below 20, then it's pull tab. If it reads 27 to 34 in AMM, then it's screw cap.

Does this make sense? Has anyone else tried this or experienced this?

Thanks again for this tip Greenwood. I hope the wife is doing better!

I posted under another subject a little bit ago, but I'll have to listen for that little "chirp" you mentioned as well. I have found that when you immediately switch to AMM and you see 2 bars on the iron meter, then it is a crusty screw cap. Sometimes the nails sick get to me on the "iffy signals" and sometimes those bent over screw caps get me as well, but I think I'm becoming more in tune with the detector. Great detector I must add. I think I'm going to add a NEL coil to my arsenal as well next
