[QUOTE="Paulmarr, post: 71128, member: 1683"] I know with the Xterra it is possible to dicriminate out the pull tabs and bottle tops. One and two cent coins along with $1 and $2 coins are made of 97% and 92% copper and all ring around the same tone on a few different detectors I own. It is the 5/10/20 and some small silver coins that are the same range as pull tabs and bottle tops - so if you are willing to forgo finding these items then dicriminating all but should be pretty easy - but as others have said you will probably discriminate out rings and other goodies. From all I have read and experience I've gained - you can't get away from them - best is to dig them and be sure - and accept the fact that it ain't possible to only dig good targets without missing lots of treasure and that pull tabs and bottle tops are your friends. :) [/QUOTE]
