One thing I have noticed since buying the CTX is I dig way less of the crimp type bottle caps. I do find many of the screw on style of caps however. Most likely, is due to those crimp caps having higher amounts of ferrous metals in them vs. the screw caps. The majority of the time, I know, now, what the signal is for those screw caps but I'll dig them anyway, because you just never know. My Equinox on the other hand was a magnet for those crimp style caps. Aluminum cans or can slaw, is another fun item to find but I use that trick of hovering the coil several inches above the ground and if the signal is still strong, it's probably an aluminum can or a mass of aluminum slaw.

I hear ya Ruff. My E-Trac is exactly the same. Only during special conditions does my E hit on the crimped caps. The wife's Fisher hits on them way more.

FBS and BBS both basically ignore the steel crown caps...but they will bleed thru on occasion, especially when there's another mid to high tone target next to the cap. These instances I investigate further...My F75 LTD, while a beast on silver
also loved the steel crown caps, basically why I switched to Minelab 9 years ago.
