Probe ID....

Has anyone ever noticed that the screwdriver can be used as an ID tool? Usually the quarter can be ID'd because of it's heft and size-the dime wants to keep moving around and is harder to get a point on it-pieces of aluminum sound "tinny" and kind of make a scraping sound-sometimes you can actually feel the end cut through pieces of foil-and the point will sometimes stick in a thin piece of scrap metal-? Anybody got any more sounds or experiences?:detecting:
 
I wouldn't want to find any coin of value this way, but if you are only interested in clad it can work. Can you imagine what a screwdriver could do to the value of a 1916 D Mercury Dime?
 
some detectorist are very good at this technique
i can say that it must take a very long time to master
i tried for a while with a proffesional probe and gave up,i could never tell the difference between a rock and a coin,ha ha
good luck!
 
It's just somethin' I started doing. I hunt mostly newer places and if I found anything of great value I'd probably keel over, anyway.:rofl:
