<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJP7x0s, post: 363858, member: 5336&quot;]I busted out my metal detector today for the first outting. I was having problems with my discriminate. I tried it on GEB but everything set it off. So I went to discriminate and tried to tune out aluminum cans, but that also phased out copper cents. I had a pocket of coins to test my settings with. Anyhow if I tuned out aluminum cans, that also tuned out the copper cents, but I had a Barber quarter and a gold ring that werent tuned out. I finally decided a few aluminum cans wouldnt hurt, so I played with my settings until it picked up the copper cent. But wow, theres way more cans buried than I would have imagined. I found Budweiser, Miller, Coors, Narragansett, and so on, and I found them with pull tabs,&nbsp; regular tabs, and even a few with no tabs where you had to poke your own hole. </p><p>But I did find a license plate, Rhode Island Commercial plates from 1940. That was a cool find, its in great shape and its nice and solid. I told my buddy to give it to his dad because his dad has a whole collection of license plates. He will clean it up and paint it back to its origional colors. I gave him a license plate that I found a few years ago, but that one was rotted pretty badly and he was still all excited, he made it look good. </p><p>Anyhow, Jim, do you use discriminate or just the GEB. I was told to use GEB then listen to the sound the detector makes. But I have a hard time with that. I know alot of things make different noises, but where I go detecting, theres just too much junk and the detector just doesnt stut up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
