Every day my wife takes our daughter to work and stops at the parks for a hour or so to detect on the way home. She got her usual around $2.00 of clad coins today and tells me no nickels. I haven't given it much thought but now that I think of it since using the 4" coil on my (our) F4 I haven't found a single nickel with it either and very very few pull tabs. What's up with that? I'm not discriminating them out, I'm using the factory discriminate mode & nothing notched out. Any ideas? Thanks! Steve.
 
Try placing a nickel on the ground and sweeping the coil over it at various (but reasonable height). Does it beep or ...
 
Thanks Rudy, if I ever get done haying this summer I will do some experimenting. I asked the same question on another forum & a fella replied saying that possibly the factory set discrimination could be too high - makes sense and I never thought of it. Steve.
