Minelab Treasure talk- Bottlecaps

Why not use the all metal back the coil off and listen for the grunt trick?
Seems to work for me at the beach but I am still testing it.

Yep, thats the "approach-method", just in reverse. Start outside, and go towards the target, where you could also start on the target and back off. However, when that didn't show a clear bottlecap grunt, i tried the pump method and it DID show me the grunt. So i think using both methods can really help indicate a cap.

I went for a spin on the Beach yesterday and tried out the pump-method for bottle caps/pull tabs. I'll be honest, that thing worked pretty good. I would go along using BEACH2, if i hit something that was in the 10-18 range I pressed the all-metal button to hear the grunt. If i heard no grunt, i would try the approach-method where you swing back and forth as you approach the target to listen for the grunt. I would hear that & be pretty confident it was not a solid 15/etc anymore, but more likely a bottlecap or tab. Then i tried the pump method (make sure all metal mode is on) and that worked nicely too, even when the approach-method didnt work. Ofcourse i had to dig some caps to make sure it was working, but everytime i did, it was a cap.
Still more testing needed, however, good news so far.

Now, that goes to show you i didn't have a very lucky day yesterday, but the sun was shining, the temps were 74, and the water is getting warmer, so no complaints. Clad, Sunglasses, caps, tabs, and odds & ends.

By the time you have done all these different approaches I could have that beautiful rusty bottle cap in my pouch and be looking for the next one. I'm just glad not to digging rusty nails at 18 inches like i do with the dual field

Very good point, but if your in a park or yard, you won't be using beach 1 or 2 would you?

Good thought, but not too sure about that. Digging 10" holes in the surf while the water & sand is filling the hole as fast as you are digging it, takes a lot more time than swing-grunt, then pump-grunt. Just sayin'.
