Wires... I've had a few detecting instances where you have a 24-30 Signal at 4-6 inches that turned into a piece of wire very close to the surface...
Whats with that?

Detecting Question

Very common in detecting. First the detector is telling you the conductivity, ID 24-30, and it is reasonable based on the size, shape, & material of the target. Second, detectors for coin finding are calibrated in regards to depth of a coin sized & shaped object. The detector told you exactly what it saw.
Now as you become more experienced, you will learn how to shape a target in the ground which will give you more info before digging. But this type of target signature should always be dug! Because it could easily be a Silver chain or Bracelet.
May I say an excellent question.

yup, bill, I sometimes will switch over to prospect mode to see the size and intesity of the metal... if it sounds to hot I pick the coil up...

This is the wire... it was in the middle of the roots, but showed @ 4-6" on the indicator...
Looks to be copper. And if it were melted down and poured into a mold, it could become a penny or two. So, to answer your original question, the detector is doing what it is designed to do. It is telling you that the conductivity of that target matches that of a copper cent. By using the Prospecting mode, you would be better able to determine the size and shape of the target. And, with practice, avoid some disappointment when you think you are digging a coin. On the other hand..... You'll never know for sure......unless you dig it! HH Randy

There were 2 versions of that song... the instrumental by Hugh Masekela (the first South African recording act to reach number one on the pop charts) then the version with lyrics by Friends of Distinction. Hugh's version was released in 1968 and Friends of Distinction was released in 1969....
Grazing in the Grass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Grazing in the Grass" is an instrumental composed by Philemon Hou and first recorded by the South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. It is recognizable by its prominent cowbell part. Released in the United States as a single in 1968, it became one of the few instrumentals to reach the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The Friends of Distinction recorded a vocal cover version of the tune in 1969 which was also a Top Ten pop and R&B hit. "Grazing in the Grass" has been recorded by many other musicians, including Chet Atkins, Boney James, Willie Mitchell, The Monitors, Meco, cc: DIVA. In 2004 it was covered by Raven-Symon

It's funny how 70's music lives on-Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Kansas, Eagles, Led Zep, Styx, Doobies, Steely Dan, America, Chicago, Frampton, J. Geils, Steve Miller, Rod Stewart, Grand Funk, George Thorgood, ZZ Top, Foghat, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Jeff Beck, ELP, Jethro Tull, Yes, to name a few. I feel sorry for anyone who missed it. Most 80's and 90's music is all but forgotten, except for Gordon Sumner and the Police, of course.
