Default Picnic grounds hunt today TABS

I stopped by a picnic grounds that sponsors hog roast yearly.Its been a good party spot for quite some time.I found a few clad,but its totally polluted with beer tops.Those beaver tail tops drive you crazy.I got my xl pro out with the 9.5 and it was singing like crazy.I have a bullseye head I could use,problem is those tops like to give nickle readings regardless of which head you use.I just cant resist digging all.I trust my machine not to lie to me,and I listen.How do you all tell the difference between these tops and clad? Or possibly a ring?

Nickles/gold rings/tabs all come in the same. If that area is like you say it is gonna be hard for sure. I guess you could notch them out? If you do that say good by to the possible gold. You will still find quarters, dimes, pennies, and silver rings/jewelry. Good luck with that spot, Beale.
