Inspired by Ramjets post about digging trash .
I often wonder about all these detectors with all their notch discrimination etc .
I think people get too caught up in it all and pay WAY TOO MUCH for it !
Want to cut out bottle tops ?? Lose the Goldies then .
Want to cut out pull tabs ,, lose the gold rings then and some lesser coins !
I think people need to learn to swing over the target from different angles to get a true number ,,, and learn to accept that you HAVE to dig junk to get the goodies .
Really listen to the tones rather than read the ID numbers and you will get a better understanding of your machine .
I use a FORS Gold machine and it only has a blanket discrimination which I use to cut out nails etc , yet by "listening" , I can usually name the target before I get it out of the ground.
Just some food for thought
