Go to a coin shop, and if you can afford it, get a specimen of as many coins as you are likely to come across. That way you can familiarize yourself with them, and also see how your detector behaves when it detects them. If you can't afford specimens, at least study the coins and discuss fakes with the dealer. In addition to learning coins, you can make a contact to sell found coins to.
 
Left one is fake...old trick. Silver shows bright through the tissue.
I am completely ignorant of this method, do you use gift wrapping tissue or facial tissue ? Thanks to those of you who mentioned this method in this thread I learned something new today.
