[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 280000, member: 3"] I try not to rely too much on the iron audio feature but do use it before digging most targets simply to hear and learn the response of each. I've found in the particular ground I'm hunting atm that most modern coins produce at least a little iron grunt, apart from the goldies all modern coins are coming out of the ground black, so whether or not this has anything to do with it or if it's the soil I'm not entirely sure until I move onto new ground. You're right in that bottle tops will produce a greater and more obvious response, and with a little practice it's pretty easy to tell the difference. I too occasionally notch out everything except the last two notches targeting only silver and goldies, this is quite effective in really trashy or well manicured ground but it's also good for those times when you're short on time and don't want to dig a lot of rubbish. I'll crack open my silver collection a little later to see if I have any florins, if I find one I'll do an air test for you and report the VDI number. I'm certain a florin will ping well above 83 so you should be right with your current settings. [/QUOTE]
