I am getting the M6 detector

I got mine delivered last week Have not used it yet other than doing some air tests. I think its going to be a good machine.
 
It's my main detector. Had an MXT. I like the tone ID. You can hunt faster with it. The stock coil is pretty good. I have the 8" excel on it now. I have not tried the 5" or 14" yet. I hunted an area with steel bottle caps. After you dig a few you can pretty much tell a coin from one. Caps hit around 74VDI some at 80. Break up or have 1 bar on the display. I seem to find more coins on edge. HH
 
I'm sure glad you posted this. I was looking at an M6 for an in-town park hunter, but it looks like it gives a high tone for caps just like the T2. :sadwalk:

Well, scratch the M6 off my list :rage:
 
Bottle Caps DON'T necessarily read high, in fact they pop and bounce all over the place like most detectors.

I can't speak for the Private Label Excelerators as they are DD and do not meet White's Standards of Excellence so they are not approved by Whites.

The NEW Standard 950 Concentric Base Loop has no problem dealing the the bottle cap and knocking it down with a LOW Tone. If your getting HIGH Tones with the Bottle Cap your not doing something right.
 
Looking at 0-4" deep. Fresh and rusty ones.

au4greg says his gives a low tone for steel bottle caps.

Robocoin gave a report that puts them high tone and was told he doesn't know how to use his machine. :nono:

Anyone else brave enough to post their experience with steel bottle caps after that?

:detecting:
 
Sorry, but rusty oxides bottles caps hit high on my machine. I can tell you this VDI of 74 was junk. Also check the bar display, I agree caps do jump around on the vdi. They will break up on the tone ID. HH
 
and it is even worse if you use a DD coil. My M6 doesn't have any problems with non-corroded caps. Corroded caps don't give a solid VDI number. Caps also pinpoint bigger than coins.

HH,
Andy
