Just purchased a Minelab Vanquish 440 can't wait to try it out!

You can usually tell when you have an aluminum can under the coil (versus a coin) because the signal sounds larger. It has a wider sound. When you pinpoint an aluminum can it will not give a tight, snappy sound like a coin. You'll start to get a feel for this.

Thanks again! I'll have to pay closer attention to the sound.

Old thread but its all new to me. Good info for a beginner (new MLV-540 owner).
