Pull tabs everywhere

Well-known member
I am new to the X-terra 705 and one of my friends was telling me how they had found some deep silver in this park. So when I would get a signal that would read deep I would dig it only to find a deep pull tab. After digging several deep pull tabs I was starting to get frustrated and thought maybe I had it set up wrong. I tried to make some adjustments but being new on this machine thought maybe I would post about it . I have the 9 inch 7.5 khz coil . Any suggestions or ideas.
 
Pull tabs just go with our hobby. Yuu just have to dig the bad to get to the good. Trying to block them you will be blocking other good stuff. In a heavy trash area you may need to go to a smaller 6" coil to have a smaller halo. But even then you are gonna have to just dig. I'll let the experts here chime in. A 6" DD would be my preference over the 6" concentric coil. The

:confused: I've never found silver in the same range as I find pull tabs.
The nice thing about 7.5kHz coils is their honest TID. Unlike HF & LF coils the MF target segment bin widths are virtually equal from top to bottom, so there is no preference for either high or low conductors.
 
being new to the X-terra 705 I was just digging targets even if the numbers were all over the place, but registered as deep.

Agree with longhair.
Try deep signals with an ID of 30 or higher

What numbers do they come in at usually? I haven't dug one with my Xterra yet.
 
24-30 usually for me. Most close to 28. When I started digging all pull tab signals my Indians sky rocketed.

What coil are you using mostly and what do the indians read out of the ground, just waving them in front of the coil?
I am use to the fbs/bbs minelabs more which have better ID at depth. My xterra...Ive dug coins/tabs that were a light tone signal that wouldnt ID on the meter at all.
 
Thats funny digging pull tabs would increase Indians. Back when we used to look for them in Los Angeles Ca. we would dig bottle caps all day long trying to find a few that my buddy was missing from his collection.
 
Mostly the stock coil and the digger. If you don't dig pull tabs you will not find a lot of the good stuff. Once I started digging more Indian cents I didn't mind digging pull tabs any more. Out of the ground usually around 30. I learned a lot about coins I was missing by civil war relic hunting and digging all high tones. It amazed me at what I had been missing when coin hunting. I now dig more targets when I go coin hunting. Some pull tab signals can be tokens also.
