digging targets:ausflag:

[blowfly1967]

i try to read all of the forums for interest sake and any usefull information.to-night i read on another site,quote" i was slightly amused to find my north american cousins had to be told how deep the target was before they would bother to dig it",or words to that effect. my thoughts when i read that he mustn't know about tesoro's.what do you all think? hh,see ya! blowfly

well until you get some time in you cant get the experiance to tell how deep somthing is thats all

 

[tabdog]

Gunnar is right.

It just sounds like someone doesn't quit know

what thay are blowin off about.

I'm a dumb North American hick. I don't need any

Euro swinger or any one else tellin me how deep

it is.

After all, I'm tha Tabdog.

Thay just don't under stand us dumb Arkies.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tabdog

= and take umbrage at the notion that because I'm a "North American cousin," I'm also stupid.
I rarely use depth readings, even when available, preferring to just raise the coil. If the signl is soft and dissapears right away I know it's deep. If it blasts me out of my headphones and I can still pick it up at a foot, then I know it's shallow.

Sounds like some elitist clap trap, the stuff of boorish snoobery. Guy was a Brit, I'll bet.

Not so respectfully submitted, I'm dahut.

I didn't know one had to know how deep a target is to dig. If it seems to be a good or interesting signal I dig till I find it, no matter whether shallow or deep.

Without question; if it sounds promising, I dig it. I can only hope that those with depth indication believe it.

You da man David.

I'm just tryin ta get people ta try tha AM.

There are a lot of different AM's and just

like AM's, MD'es are different.

Tha short is, use it, use it, use it.

That will answer a lot of questions like this.

We learn all we can off tha forums, but tha

real deal is in tha dirt and crud.

It takes charactors like us ta make a hobby

of it.

We do it out of love for tha hobby. We gather

like birds in a flock here.

I don't quess it's for everbody, but I'm glad you

are here to enjoy it with us,

Tabdog

I'm with B Bill and Relic, if its a good signal or even iffy and it discs out at the right place, I'm diggin. Sometimes I'll check the spot with my pinpointer (it only gets 1 1/2" max depth) to see if the target is just under the turf, especially if I'm coin shooting.
