I've set up my XS to target every coin I can find in my collection: Silver 25, Barber 25, rosies, wheats, King George Copper, large cents, Morgan Dollar, gold eagle, V nickel, war nickel, nickels, various buttons, 3 cent piece (silver) various non-ferrous UMO's.
I've no indianhead pennies. Do they fall outside the range of the above targets? What about later date (1900+) indians? Are there other coins I need to program (seated etc) that would not fall in the range noted above? I'm new to the XS. My previous machine read Indians as irratic zinc and I often didn't bother digging since can shreds and other junk gave the same irratic signal. I, for obvious reasons, would prefer not to buy indians to program the machine with. Any help appreciated. HH to all.

"> Bronze indians like mitsch said read mainly a hair below where zincs read, the Cu/ni indiansand flying eagles read a full cross hair above nickels, I think if you just reject Zincs a few tabs you would be better off than trying an accept only screen.. in other words accept all, reject the left 1/8th of the screen and use reject to get rid of the majority of tabs and dig the rest.. Oh yeah I wouldnt suggest using copper coins thatr you buy in the store for patterns.. they tend to read higher than ones that been in the ground 100 years
