Last night I went out and used the sef trying to cover the ground where I previously found the first pocket watch. I figured with added depth I should be able to find the front flip cover on the last one. I flagged all my found targets with apple wood sticks and went back this morning with a 5.3 to pinpoint them. I pulled one square nail at 8" and some deep clad, and of course a pocket watch that was intact. It is not as fancy as the last one but still cool to find.
It was no more than 10ft from the last one and I had gridded the area off with the D2 and not seen it. And I searched thoroughly. I also pulled an old brass 16g shotgun shell out, it to was within 10ft of the silver pocket watch location and was masked by iron and the d2 could not see it.
I have a new technique, grid with the 15x12 and then go back in with the 5.3. It sure has proven to be a winner, and not being v-rated is not causing a problem but it may with gold prospecting.
I am going to have to at least give Kellyco a call.
I forgot to add the watch was 9-10" down, measured. It read from 70-78 on the vdi and would dip into the high 50's. Surrounded by nails and can slaw. Makes for very slow hunting.
