Not that I am complaing but find it odd that I am not digging any pulltabs. I am using a White's Eagle II SL (1989 model) and noticed when I got home after a couple hours hunt that in the pile of clad I found there was not even one nickel and after thinking about it I didn't dig any pulltabs. I am runnig my Eagle in Beach mode and have it set so it will beep on everything from 30 - 0 - 95 and I dig every repeatable target. Other than that it hits dimes/pennies/quarters/ like crazy & at good depths. I know the Eagle runs at 6.59 kHz but it still should get some nickels & pulltabs I would think. Might be allergic to them is all I can figure, lol. Steve.
 
nickles hit on a whites in the 20 to 25 range,so you are siscriminating them out,good luck
 
Try a nickel out of your pocket Steve, if it doesn't pick it up, you will have to check you discrimination.
 
blue box.....A bent beaver tail, or folded over pull tab can and does come in at those ranges also, but I do find a fair share of them every time I hunt with this "ol timer"..

Nope, that range is not disc'd out. I have it so it will hit on everything from -30 on up to +95 Steve.
 
I haven't worked with that particular detector, but generally set my machines with an actual nickel. Set the discrimination just below where a nickel cracks out and still responds well. I do this regardless of any marks on the discrimination dial to be certain I am accepting nickels.

Went out today for awhile and got three or four nickels in the pile of clad I found, still no pulltabs, but thats not a bad thing I guess. Steve.
 
Hay Steve, Don,t be teaching that Eagel to find pulltabs, it took me a long time to teach it not to find them. If you are going to give it bad habbits i will want it back. If you get it set right it wont pick them up. it will find some odd ones. Watch and see if it dont. Have fun with it. Good Hunting Dean

You did a good job teaching it, I won't teach her any bad habits I promise. Not complaining about the Eagle in the least, just found it strang not having to dig a bunch of tabs. Steve.
 
I would be in HEAVEN if I could dig the nickels and no pull tabs or screw tops...:angel:
