DEEEEEP Signals

A

Anonymous

Guest
I have had some high tone, crisp signals that the depth meter suggests are 6 inches or so down. On digging, the signal stays over the hole, and after removing a foot of earth, still stays in the hole and still stays strong. I've enlarged the hole, scanned from all sides etc trying to pinpoint better etc and still the signal is in the hole. I've assumed it's large deep trash and not coins. Would you agree with that and have you had this happen too? What do you 'typically' find at the bottom of the hole?
Thanks and HH!
 
Do you own a pinpoint probe if not buy one tomorrow its an essential part of your detecting kit trust me!!!!you need one when using Minelab detectors.In answer to your question tes it sounds like a coke can or large trash.
 
Ive had some deep buckles do that, I generally keep digging if it sounds good, how big does it seem in pinpoint? good targets usually have a quick cutoff if pinpoint, while cans and junk a drawn out
 
Sometimes if you get a coin on edge, it will be a few inches from the center of the signal, not quite as deep as the depth meter shows. Also long nails can be deep and well off the center and cause the same problem.... otherwise, if you only went a foot deep, you need to go deeper... at least another 6 inches.... a larger-than-coin-size target could be still down there. Widen the hole some more and go deeper next time. HH, Mike.
 
You definitely need a pinpointer. And be careful when you stick your hand in that deep hole that the underground snipes don't grab you. It'll scare the bejabbers out of you. Their fangs aren't poisonous but they sure do hurt. HH
