Question for Deeptech Vista X users.

[Tony-Ok]

Is the audio good enough to distinguish between US nickels and pull tabs. It seems that the VistaX is more of a relic detector. Just wondering how it fares for coin hunters??? dealing with aluminum bits (slaw) ??

Yes. You have Main Disc Setting on 2 Knock Nails Iron. You can then Set Alt Disc Higher Settings Either Total knock Targets or Break up. Chuck

On mine, if they aren't too deep, a nickel will give the same length beep in every direction, the pull tab will usually have a shorter beep in one direction than when you turn 90 degrees if you use the same sweep speed. It might work to set the second disc to break up on a nickel but they are somewhat inconsistent. I think it was Keith Southern that said to set the first disc to barely accept a nickel and the second to barely reject it. You will still get a pull tab now and then. For cherry picking coins, I ignore nickels and set second disc to barely accept zincolns if Indian head pennies are possible or to barely accept dimes. Even so, if something sounds "round", I don't care if second disc silences it, I'm digging anyway.
