Me and the 350 went beeping this afternoon for a short time and stumbled upon penny and bottlecap heaven..

Must have dug 50 pennies and about that many bottlecaps. Dug those puppies till I was blue in the face. The DD is a great coil but it's insatiable lust for bottlecaps gets to be a bit much especially for an old fart with a bad back and crappy health. I did find one quarter, one dime, and one nickel. It's usually the other way around with lots of quarters but not today. Will hit that park again tomorrow as I'll be back over that way again for another doctors appointment. It was pretty full today with sun bathers laying all over the place as it was a gorgeous day. Must have been a 100 bodies there strewn all over the park and they must have lost something. This park is good for rings.

Saw another guy tecting but didn't see him get much of anything and the way he was going at it it was no surprise. It's interesting to watch some folks detect and you wonder how they find anything. This guy would stand in one spot and scan an area of 16-20 inches in front of him over and over again. I had no idea what he was attempting to do and I never saw him dig anything. He would walk and make wide, random, scans then stop and do the repetitive bit for several minutes at a time. First time in ages that I've seen another beeper swinger there.

I dont know if you can do the same thing on the ace 350, but on the Omega I have bottle caps ring up in the quarter range usually with a jumpy TID number and a little higher number. One trick I have found is to continue sweeping the coil over the target as I raise it up. The numbers will start to fade down into the zinc range or the signal will quit all togather if I am using some discrimination. I know the ace does not have a numerical readout but I wonder if you used the same tactic if the id (block it hit in) would fall lower. On quarters I get a good high tone all the way until the signal fades. I have just about eliminated digging bottle caps with this method. Or you could just wait until the AT Pro comes out.......;o)
 
:usaflag:Since the AT Pro has the same DD coil, one can assume that if you are not using Pro Mode you will have the same bottlecap issue. That is a good piece of information...thanks UW.

The above is on a suspected bottlecap. Didnt know if it was clear enough in the first post.
