Tips on Telling Nickels Apart From Pull Tabs.

I'm sure that you have heard this before, but I'm wondering how to distinguish between nickels and pull tabs with my Vanquish 440. Nickels seem to be slightly lower on the scale, but pull tabs vary so much that it is hard to tell.

    In my experience, the Vanquish machines are not great about telling the difference between nickels and pulltabs. Conversely, if you run an Equinox in Park 2 and only dig solid 12 and 13 signals, you'll dig a nickel almost every time.
