I was in a plowed field and got a reading of 50 which usually signals a flat button. When I dug the hole I checked and no signal, must be in the pile. Nope, pin pointer found nothing. Ran the T2 over the pile and got another 50 reading and it was saying 7 inches. This went on 3 more times. I covered the hole(s) and moved on. Very strange. Don't know if anyone else has had this happen?

T2 Moving Target

I have it happen quite a bit. Usually, it is caused by a large piece of iron, or aluminum, that is very deep in the ground, maybe as much as 2 or 3 feet. Same thing happens with about every detector I've ever owned. The detectors are calibrated on coin size objects. A large object might read out as 6", and really be 2 feet deep. I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that if you go back to that spot with a shovel, dig it deep enough and you will find a smashed/compacted aluminum can. A heavy piece of aluminum almost always show up as a #50 on my T2

Also if you try to pinpoint it and get nothing it's a hot rock.
I've had a related occurance happen to me bunches of times........ get a real decent signal in the ground in the undisturbed soil....... dig a hole out, and check all the loose dirt...... nothing! ........ Dig more of the dirt out of the whole..... check the dirt.... nothing! Core the hole out a little wider..... and a little deeper ..... and still nothing! I've scooted the pile of dirt around with my foot, or by hand...... flattening out the mound and rechecked all the dirt..... still nothing. By that time, I rake all the dirt back in the hole...... and when I go to check the filled hole...... I hope like heck I don't get the signal again!
