What is it

[in the rv]

[size=large][sup]I have the BH tracker 4 and have learned that when its on tone, the sound is a low tone for gold, a nickel and a aluminium tab, The setting are at noon on both controls. Is there a easier way to tell the difference between a useless tab and a great find.[/sup][/size]

Nope!

Yes-and No. When you set it to tone, rotate the disc control from the off position to the right until a nickel first gets a pure low tone-no jewelry on the testing hand. Now, nickels and some foil and some gold rings will give a low tone, tabs a broken tone (except for the sta-tabs that register as nickel on ANY Id meter), and coins a high tone. What I mean by NO, is that some rings register in the tab region. The neat thing about the T4 is that even though it's likely a tab, you hear the sound and YOU make the final decision to recover.

Ya, for every nickel you find buried, you will most likely have to dig 20+ pull tabs or something similar. You might think it is not worth it at that ratio, however gold rings are in the same part of the spectrum. If you don't care about gold or nickels then crank-up the discrimination so only coins are detected.
