Default G2 gold setting

By setting my discrimination setting up to 50 I found that I was getting less foil and still got a gold chain bracelet at a vdi of 54 seeing that all gold is in that area between 50 -58. All signals below 50 were mostly trash foil and pull tabs. It worked for me. I would show a pic of it but camera needs work sorry.

Your setting different than my 8000, I notch iron-pulls, the last old school only gave up bullet cases and two buttons, lots of pull tabs I left down, tried two and the machine didnt lie! Most of the time coins will nail the ID numbers, its the jumpers that are weird...like bullet case????

Gold rings are @ 49-50 run mine @ 60-70%sensi.

Going to sledding hill and swing park next.

Thats because the bullet cases are brass I believe thats why the numbers are jumpy i get the same reaction.
