I Really Need Help!

[RonO]

I moved to Ecuador last year, shortly after buying an XP Deus. I just unpacked my detectors and found out the Ecuadorian dime, quarter, and half dollar coin (Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as currency) will not "sound off" with any of the factory programs. My Deus has the 3.2 programs. The U.S. minted coins work properly including the Sacagawea dollar, which is the most entensively used coin down here. Have any of you ever experienced anything like this with any foreign cfurrency? If so, what is the solution? Thanks, Ron..

Looking up your coins most all of your modern coins are Nickel clad Steel.
Your earlier coinage (pre mid 40's) there is silver, nickel and bronze, so they would be what to hunt for.
To find the modern coins your going to dig a Lot of trash.
I don't have any of your coins to do any testing, but I'm sure there is a way to narrow it down a bit.
Good Luck, sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks, HuntinDog. I really appreciate it.

Run it wide open with no descrimination to pick up the steel.

Thanks. I'll try it.

A suggestion to run the discrimination at 0 worked. The Ecuadorian coins are being discriminated out due to the iron content. Thanks everybody!
