I know this sounds weird, but when I was out detecting today I noticed 2 or 3 different times I would get some signals that were pretty quiet but seemed repeatable and the depth meter said they were right on the surface...i didnt bother to dig because I know a coin wouldnt of done that, but was confused why it was happening. Anyone know what it could have been?

Yes, I get them now and then too.

What numbers was it showing? Do you have a pin pointer to sweep the surface to look for pull tabs or other junk?

The Fe number was usually 11, but i cant really remember the CO number..i think it was between 20-30...and i do have the propointer, but i was in a rush and assumed it wasnt a coin. I dont know if like really small pieces of trash might do that? because even though they are close to the surface, it still reads them like a deep signal?

I would say can slaw most likely...were you at a park or home site?

The easiest way to find out is to dig it.
Were you running silent or with a threshold.
Also how high was your sensitivity ? EMI can repeat to some degree but usually reads higher than that if you're sens is way above what the e-trac suggests.
20 to low 30's are almost always modern trash at my sites.
