AT PinPointing Question

[jbr13]

I have run into several beer cans and large pieces of aluminum in the ground lately. I think I have come up with a way of telling if it is trash or some possibly good. Let me know if you see any problem with my process here. When I hit a good dime or higher target that shows to be at 2 inches, I lift the detector up to about 10-12 inches above and pin point it, if it still reads at 2-4 inches depth it seems to be a beer can or equal aluminum trash. If I lose the target at that range it could be something good.

I know depth reading is for something the size of a coin and that is why a bigger target will show at a shallower depth when it really is 6-8 inches deep.

Do any of you see a problem with my thought process on this. Could I be missing something of value, or what types of good targets could give me the same type readings?


Thanks

No, it's a sound process, although 10-12 inches may be a little more than needed. It's already being done. Garret teaches it in one of their videos I believe.

Great process! Also hit pinpoint and kind of outline the target, if its bigger than normal it would be large object too.

I have had this problem too man. Check the target location from a couple different angles....mashed up aluminum cans tend to jump around on the coin depth indicator and give an inconsistent depth reading on mine. After digging a few of these up and guessing trash or treasure, I`m starting to guess right more often now. I`m still learning too bro...hang in there!

Thanks MuddDawg, Yeah I am learning at a much better pace now, and finding good stuff.
