How many detectors are there that can id steel bottle caps with a dd coil?

[coinhunterseth]

I am curious about this, there are always discussions about how a concentric is needed to id steel bottle caps. I have heard that an Etrac can do it with a dd, though I have no experience with one, and I know an AT Pro can. I never dig any, and I never use a concentric. How many other detectors are there that can?

My F75 has no trouble getting them to break up their tone when I "tickle" them with the 11 o'clock or 1 o'clock portions of the coil edge, presented slightly on edge. They either give a solid iron sqwak or go silent. Coins will not do this under the same treatment.

I seldom ever dug any with my Excal II or my Sovereign GT. I probably dig more with the CTX3030 but I don't dig many. Funny thing, the CZ's I've owned don't like them on the beach but really liked them in the water and those are concentric coils.

The Garrett AT Pro does it the best.....Jack

I have very little problems ID'g 95% or more of these things with my F70.

No problem with the Coinmaster GT and the NEL dd or the DFX and any of the DD coils.. you just have to know what a coin looks and sounds like vrs a bottle cap

I don't think I've dug more than 2 or 3 of them this year with the CTX. They either give an iron tone or they're disced out. The omega handles them fairly well with both the 5" and 11" DD's. They'll usually give a very scratchy high tone. The Deus is quite fond of them. With some experience though, you can bypass most of them.

I used my first Deus mostly in Denmark. Danish farmers apparently "plough drunk" based on the endless supply of Tuborg and Carlsberg beer caps in the fields (the furrows were tolerably straight however!). Happily the Deus called all of them in the 80's so that I could remove them.

I sold the Deus.

The White's V series is a Godsend on bottlecaps. A quick glance at the dominate frequency tells you it is a bottlecap and not a quarter.

Hardly if ever dig them with the Excal./Sovereigns. Aluminum caps are a whole different story ....

My Tek t2 and gamma 6000 have no problems with them.
My cz's lack tid #'s to I.D bottle caps as any category type machine would.

On my Garrett's w/DD they sounded like quarters.... On my CTX they sound like nickels.

I agree. martin

So is Pro mode audio on the AT Pro

Hi,
Anybody relying on target ID numbers has not yet read the book :

If your digging lots of bottle caps with the Deus than you haven't learned how to use it yet

I never dig a steel bottle cap with my Explorer2 running in Ferrous. The SOUND is the same as a high conductor but the crosshairs on the screen are nowhere near where a coin is. It cannot get more obvious...
