searching chain link fence
- Thread starter fozzy767

Hay Fozzy,
I have gotten better and better at it.
One thing I learned. CL fences have points on the bottom.
Figgure out the points. Go slowly and listen for anything that doesn't add up.
That's easy to say because it sounds so erratic.
Practice.
With most steel or iron objects, you need to go strait at it and away from it.
CL fenses are different. I go different directions, and always along them.
I do not try to discreminate out the fence. I rarely us discrimination above iron
if at all.
I will also risk cutting my hand to temporarly move the fence back a little.
I have found some very nice targets under chain link fences,

Use a small coil and turn the sensitivity way down.

This works.....most cl fences are a little loose from age. Drive a BIG screwdriver ,or other, about 2 feet away from the fence, (on the other side of the fence). Take a strong piece of cord with a metal hook on one end and hook it to the bottom of the fence. Stretch the fence and tie the cord to the screwdriver. Detect as you can, moving the screwdriver and cord with hook as you go. This assumes you're detecting close to a gate or have very long legs.

Also works up close to playground equipment.

I read this post last night. Rain stopped, took my Silver U Max (aka "SIR") over to the school yard, set Sensitivity down, stock coil, disc at Iron.Worked parallel to chain links, got signals. You have to work them....Nothing to dig with , used shoe and got a pop tab , cent. And can slaw..No other locator I have ever had will get in this close..Stock coil...haven't ordered a smaller one..The metal posts will kill the Silver..THEN, went to an area I have never been able to work. Drove old T 20, to fits, 1210, and all the other Fishers to distraction..Darn old Silver went over the ground like down town..Only noise were signals, some clipped, some good healthy foil? The soil here is clay. The hot rock area was a load of gravel etc to make a path, lot of iron in it..Just sent a PM. taking wife to dinner, and, then need to carve a Santa for a charity raffle..So, if there are any experiments you want tried,,,like Annie sang, Tomorrow.. Have a great day NAD
