Question..
Been trying to get out more and more with my V and I must say I'm learning more about it's language each time and can say after a 4 hour hunt today nearly every target (50+) was dead center of my plug and but pulling up off the ground I can gauge depth well but pull tabs are slowly becoming my bane
I'm in an old ball park that is still used for adult softball and I've been there now twice and while I've pulled a small amount of clad (1.30$) I can say I have 2-3x the pull tabs. Beaver tails so they are old and come up as quarter and the newer tabs never seem to discriminate out.
On the Tesoro Vaquero there is a notch for a Tab but it seems every pull tab, both new and old style (beaver tails) never seem to go off the dial and I can full rotate the discrimination knob without it touching the signal. Some of these I believe are late 70-80's so they are roughly 4-6" down but sound a solid coin signal..
Am I doing something wrong? I knew I would be pulling tabs, lots but I'm wondering if there is any tips on how to possibly distinguish these easier using my Vaquero? Regardless I'm digging much over the 5c notch just in case as tonight I was about to pass up as a pull tab and found my first spill.. a clad quarter and 2 times, in the same hole as a tab lol
Having a great time getting out there and I'm sure it will come, that big target, if my back holds up.. Thanks!
