F75 discoveries

Went hunting yesterday, at a local grade school dated pre-1940, where I had hunted many times in the past 4 years with both the Tesoro Vaquero and the Tejon. My settings were both de and je modes with discrimination set to 0 and sensitivity as high as possible and in 2f mode. I was hunting in an area I felt was very clean of good targets. Now running with the discrimination at 0 creates a lot of responses to listen to.
Within 10 minutes I had my first fair sounding target with the vdi numbers bouncing around a little, it would only repeat two ways. Rotating around caused the machine to only sound iron with the vdi numbers still bouncing around. My first thoughts were trash or iron so I started to walk off and decided to investigate anyway. It turned out to be a clad dime laying flat at about 3" deep. After this target I started digging about every target that gave a simular response. After 2 hours I had dug 6 quarters, 4 dimes, 3 nickels and 2 copper memorial pennies. The majority of these coins were in the early 80's and in an area where I had cleaned out with my Tejon. Two notable fact of the area were the amount of coal cinders about 5+" deep which no doubt were masking each of the coins to a certain degree and the fact that the depth reading on most of these coins read deeper than they actually were. I might add one more thing, if I turned up the discrimination some of these target completely vanished.
Adding a final fact to put the hunt into a realistic view, most of the coins I dug would not give a good sounding four way response, but I dug more on sound than with the vdi's.

Exactly! Exactly! Exactly! And this is what allows you to hunt behind ALL other detectors...... including yourself!

Do you remember your Fe readings?

FEO was from .3 to 1 and some areas all bars were showing. I believe some of these high reading were due to coal cinders being in the dirt.
