screw caps

So far I have noticed that a screw cap will read as a bouncy dime / quarter signal. VDI about 84 / 85. almost every time its been a screw cap. BUT silver dimes do that too.

It seems on some i get 40- 99 on some, I found a buffalo nickel did same thing ... thats why I was diggin all those bouncy signals..
 
"how does 1 avoid screw caps with ATP?
I hit a park today and got like 40 screw caps"

So are you saying you got screwed like 40 times today? Screw caps need :inlove: too! It's part of life, its just gonna be that way sometimes. The only way I know to avoid them is to only dig iron......:rofl:

I've found those (screw caps) that sit on top of the disposal 24 oz.plastic soda bottles tend to VDI 77 through mid 80's, some doing a very good job of imitating a quarter...:cry:

I've had some very shallow/surface wet nickels that sounded real excited like fresh can slaw, almost electrified. Sunday while metal detecting in the Rain with the Pro I love I hit a very strong VDI of 64. I probed and out comes a NICKEL, thinking hybrid signal, that a copper penny was under it, I ran the Pro back and got another 64, out comes another nickel, I ran the coil over the spot again, again 64, out comes another nickel, then I got a very erratic 53-52-54- jumping around and out comes another nickel, my first nickel only coin spill .......so in this case the four nick's equaled a VDI of 64, part of the Twilight Zone Mode I run the Pro in.

Mr PT. 1 trick I use to tell if it is a bottle cap. I get the coin sound. I wiggle the coil from tip to heal past the target. If I get the iron sound on both ends it is a good chance it is a bottle cap. Try it and see how it works for you? HH.....Z
 
Do this only in an area that caps are a problem.
 
Thanks Elton will try that....HH ....Z
 
Are you talking about aluminum screw capa and not the iron ones? The aluminum one indicate in are in a good area, not over hunted. Most drink companies went to plastic screw caps several years ago
