<p>[QUOTE="GH#75, post: 4608620, member: 101202"]Those are some cool finds! Just recently started metal detecting, and so far haven't found anything worth while. Is there a trick to know whether the signal is legit or not? I went metal detecting at a park. Started walking around a bit and the detector said there was a quarter about 8 in. under, and so I started digging. It was a solid signal, beeping every time I moved my detector over the spot. Moved it back and forth about 20 times. But, once I got about a 8 in. down, I didn't find anything. So, I must have dug in the wrong spot, right? Well, I turned my metal detector back on, and moved it over the area. Nothing for a full 30 seconds, until finally it found a signal again. It was a few inches away from where I was digging. Same depth. Same metal. And almost the same signal number. So I dug there. But still, I didn't find anything. Then, I turned on my metal detector and moved it around the same area for a full 5 minutes, but it couldn't find a signal. Never found whatever it was. Just bad luck? Or am I doing something wrong? FYI, this has happened before.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. - Is there a video on this hunt?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
