I have hunted the yard at our office for months, ever since we bought it last spring. I've hunted it with a GT, T2, and a Tejon. Well, we are going to pave a part of the front yard for more parking in a few weeks so I figured i'd get out there and dig everything foil and above with the Tejon. I figured i'd use the Tejon because it will hit everything and give good depth. I immediately started digging pennies and I haven't done but a small part of it so far. One was a wheatie too.
The problem is that I have been all over this area digging all the decent sounding signals. The signals I was getting today with the Tejon were broken at the foil setting but I dug them anyway since we will be paving. I was surprised that these were coins. Four to five inches deep and broken tones on foil....
I am second guessing right now. Why would I get broken signals on pennies with disc one set at foil? Five pennies in about a 10x10 foot area... would small iron in the ground in the spot do this?
I am going to go out there with some markers and check some of these signals with all three of my machines before digging. This all make's me think I have been leaving good targets in the ground when relying on the tone ID of my machines...
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Julien
