new easy way to metal detect

[airbrush]

I have found that walking and dragging the coil on the ground behind me that i find just as much as swinging the coil. And a hold lot easier on me.

couldnt the coil become damaged if say it hit a stump you missed while walking forward? at least while swinging it its off the ground. like the idea though

U don't have to walk fast. go slow it will still pick up try it. I ant seen no stumps in the parks or ball fields. If u are swigging id u ant on the ground, u are losing death.

If you're just dragging it behind you you're searching a lot less ground.

I don't know about detecting less ground .when swigging u have to stop at the end of each swing to make the next swing, Dragging the coil behind its moving all the time ,

Some things you just cant improve. But good luck wt that new style.

I agree with Flash...seems like a slow way to detect, but if your still finding the goods this way, all the power to you...

When my buddy and I go to and from a site we usually do that, it really pays off.

 

[GoGoGopher]

Oh don't get me wrong...I do this also when leaving the field...I either do this, or swing kinda fast and lazy in front of me and will stop if I get a good signal...

Exactly, if you are walking you might as well be swingin...

A few years back I was hunting a beach up here and I see this older gentleman having his coffee while he is reading the beach. I looked up just in time to see him turn his unit on, he looked puzzled. Turned it off and on again, same problem. His coil was sitting on top of a fat gold ring, He always fires up in all metal mode.
