lets see who figures this out

on my ctx 3030 i get a "low medium" strength{not a screamer} 12-43, 12-42 very small profile{dime like}. i cut a 4 inch plug and in the plug is a 1946 quarter. on checking the plug there was a penny that was above the quarter. nothing else in the hole or plug. if anything the quarter and the penny should of been a loud screamer but it wasnt. how can this be? no emi or tough ground

hint below



















the time period of the quarter is key

This is not exactly what you are describing but I thought this was odd too. Many times I would have quarters hit in the copper penny range.

Sounds like your machine is working as it should...

Good conglomerate signal...Sound's like you had a Steel penny in the way...

What Keith said.

steel penny it was. gj all. it came in at 35-38 which i had disc out. the penny and quarter blending together dragging the vdi down.
