[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 71081, member: 1695"] I'm pretty sure when I owned a Vaquero, the discrimination nearly needs to be maxed out to knock off bottle caps, so there will be a chance of missing targets, although most coins will still chime in at full disc (whether that exclusively includes goldies, I really can't remember). Bottle caps will be abit scratchy when backing off from max disc, vs coins will still be a clear and prominent signal. The trick with the Vaquero is to run on all metal, bottle caps tend to give a very sharp sound, whereas coins tend to give a more rounded and mellow signal of similar intensity. Unfortunately bottle caps are a real pain, and have similar conductivity to a lot of coins, for example, they ring in just like goldies on my ace 250, although more of an abrupt cut-off bell tone. So the secret is more to do with listening to the tones vs relying soley on discrimination to knock out all the uwanted crap. [/QUOTE]
