My Apex shows aluminum at 82- 90
I love my Apex, but Michael is correct. Sadly misleading when you dig an 85/86 and it is a crushed Welch’s aluminum can, or any other brand. I collect foreign coins and am amazed at the number of countries that have aluminum coins. Imagine the frustration those detectorists must have!
Jim, try this next time; Lift the coil 6 or more inches off of the ground when you get one of those signals that might be aluminum. If the signal persists you are quite possibly dealing with aluminum, dig and verify. If the signal disappears, it should be a coin or some other high conductor. Again, dig and verify . My AT Pro exhibited the same behavior, it did indeed have quite the appetite for aluminum! This trick helped to minimize “aluminum falsing.”
Can anyone tell me what a gold coin would read on the VDI for the Garret ace apex
