Recognizing Bottle Caps with the Nokta Legend<\/b><\/p>\n
No detector–even a sophisticated one like the Nokta \/ Makro Legend will take the place of basic skills and bottlecap responses are a good demonstration of why this is.\u00a0 I see one prominent \u201cYouTube\u201d personality who hears a sound, checks the consistency on the cross sweep and digs. While this is a good target testing start–adding a quick pinpoint mode check would greatly increase his accuracy by letting him get a better idea of where is targets are, what shape they are and how well they stand out from the surrounding ground.<\/p>\n
These target features form the basis of what I call \u201ccorrelation\u201d–that is when you look for sets<\/i> of target characteristics. This kind of approach takes a bit of practice but can improve your accuracy and hunt time usage a lot. Basically it keeps you off the \u201ctoo bigs,\u201d the \u201cflyspecks,\u201d the elongated objects and those objects that are partly iron. This type of a broad-based approach can help you to recognise any problem target–including bottlecaps.<\/p>\n
As multi frequency machines became more sophisticated a problem arose with bottlecaps. Whereas with a single frequency detector most caps read at a particular part of the \u201cID\u201d scale\u2014the multiple frequencies of these more modern detectors all read the ground differently. This meant that the steel (or rust) part of a bottlecap could come in at any number of places on the \u201cID\u201d scale. This confounded a lot of hunters in that it made caps harder to recognize just by \u201chearing and digging.\u201d What ‘s needed are some other cap \u201ctells\u201d that involve basic skills.<\/p>\n
