When in the coin jewelery mode and you push trigger forward to notch out pull tab what area of numbers is this notching out just checking because mine seems to be from 35 to 47,Also when you when you put the disc. on full what is the highest number it will cut out on the mxt.Plus does anyone dig these number between say 30 and 47 what have you found?Is it true that there is only maybe two different types of pull tabs at a site,I know there is one that comes in as nickel but higher in the numbers what is the exact number for a pull tab? thanks for answer.
 
My numbers change depending on the pull tab. I think most mxt machines are slightly different and they will display different numbers on the same materials. I found the book "Taking A Closer Look At Metal Detector Discrimination" by "Robert C. Brockett" to be a big help. It has been recommended by others on this site and is well worth it. I think Amazon or Kellyco will have it.Can't remember which one I bought it from. HH, AF
 
Hi Fred,
I asked White's what the notch range was and was told it ran from "28 or 29 and goes to 48, 49 or 50". This is the classic old round pulltab and square tabs range. I have a large number of heavy gold rings I have found in this range over the years so it is by no means just a pulltab range. Still, most womens gold rings would fall lower than this range and they tend to be the high value finds.

ive never found the Notch feature to work correctly. also, be careful as theres quite a few gold rings that fall into that Notch area, and the MXT WILL knock these out. i tried it on my wedding band, and it picked it up fine buried to 10" without notch, but as soon as i notched it, it completely disappeared.

I got into an area full of beaver tailed pull tabs , they would come in at 37-38 some lower and higher, Hit another 37 and started to leave it and that small voice said what if it's a big ring ? 4 inches down was the biggest class ring I ever found. At another site alot of tabs close to the 30 range. Got a solid 30 vdi, another big ladies class ring. Yet another school out in front of a set of bleachers, I had bug 479 tabs, give or take 100 most in the 20 -22 range. Got another 22 and reluctantly dug it, a small class ring. I'll be honest with you, when at schools or parks using the stock coil I would run the gain on 9 disc on 3 coin mode trigger centered ground to track and threshold just under sound and if it had a solid beep I dug it, got coins down to 8-9 inches , yeah I dug alot of trash put I did not leave much good stuff behind either, And it will tell you in the manual, the id shows the " PROBABLE " target, the only fool proof method is to dig it up. Also the mxt will average the vdi's of two targets in the same hole, got a 47 vdi one eveniong at a school dug a nickel and a quarter out of the same hole . Had that happen quite a few times. I have found it pays to listen more to the mavhine and not rely so much on the target ID, I think the mxt would be just as good if not better with out the target ID and it takes a while to sink in but I realized that it was not always correct even on a positive id it can be wrong. Also if you crank the disc all the way up you wont get much but big copper and silver. HH

funny thing about the ring the samer thing happen to me on the way back to the car.It to turned out to be a big class ring.Also your right about the averageing.Just recently started to see the notch coverd to many numbers started to dig some of them and started to find different items,no coins but button and stuff. thanks.

Guess thats part of why we come to these sites, see if we can pick up a little helpful info. or perhaps pass on some of our findings through trial and error out in the field in hopes that it may help another.
