Well, I thought I would be fine hunting for coins and jewelry by merging the stock E-Trac Coin and Jewelry patterns together but tonight I found out that this is not the best way to go! My son had his coin collection out and I wanted to see what a silver half and silver dollar sounded like and to my surprise my merged pattern discriminated both of these coins out! Wow! I've been hunting for weeks with this pattern thinking I had it all covered.

So, being a newbie still, I need to ask for some advice. Are there any tested patterns out there that will pick up coins and valuable jewelry? There must be.

What surprises me is that the E-Trac manual says that the Coin pattern was tested on coins from all over the world but it discriminates out the US silver half and silver dollar!

Thanks in advance for the help!
