I will start off by saying that I coinshoot and I know and live by the rule of thumb setting Disc. just below nickel acceptance.? I know setting it this way I should get just about all coins and allow for most gold jewelry which believe me I have no problem with gold jewelry or the diamond/s that may be included.
There was my opening statement that should save me from 90% of replies that say how stupid I am.
Anywhey Here is what I'm asking about.?
At a new detecting site that seem to be trashy (a lot of pull tabs) has anyone ever tried to set there Disc. just to the point to block out pull tabs??
This way you could go threw and "Cherry pick" the site so to speak and grab all the easy silver dimes and quarters not to metion you should still get pennies also bigger silver like halves and dollars but they are not found as much.
I thought about this many times but have never tried it.? And would you only do this at a site with an open invitation to come back and hunt over again?
I've bin thinking of trying this like a strategy like when you go all metal mode once the site has bin done over with Disc.
do a site in 3 stages
stage 1 disc. above pull tab (pull the easy silver and cents)
stage 2 disc. nickle acceptance (get nickles of course and some deeper silver, cents, and bummer but the standard pull tabs and foil)
stage 3 no disc. all metal mode (get all metals of course but including even deeper silver,cents, and nickles. along with possible relics and trash)
After that you would have just about all the site has to offer I know the rule of a site being hunted out but man this will leave the site lacking for the next guy.? And that is if you know your machine well and I like to think I do.
I could throw in a stage 4 real big coil (12 to 18 inches) all metal mode.
But I think with having this stage 1 you could "cheery pick" the quick easy silver so if someone seen what you are doing there and they or someone they know metal detects gets word of spot you are at they don't come clean out the easy silver before you return there again.? If they do come after the stage 1 they would have to go threw the site the same old tedious way and pull some targets good and bad but it leaves the site very productive for a long time for just you or anyone so inclined.
Like I said I've bin thinking about it but have not tried it yet the next new site I find I'll try it and post resalts.
If a lot of people are doing it like this in some way or if there are some here that do please reply and let my know how it works for you or if you have any impute to how you work over a site in stages like I'm talking about here.
And one last thought do this even at a sight you may only be able to hunt once like some ones yard.? Go around like a mad man picking out the easy silver trying to cover most of the ground and when you done that go to nickle acceptance until it is time to leave to get any other goddies wile you can.
Thanks and HH!
