[QUOTE="johndo, post: 264947, member: 4534"]In my case most things I get a hit on is anywhere from just below the surface to 8 in below. 1. try to pinpoint your target before you start digging. 2. when I start digging I use a little plastic shovel and put ea. shovel full over the detector to check if I've got it, be sure not to have any rings, watches or other jewelry that might cause a hit on the det. 3. I'll rescan the hole several times during the process. 4. cover the hole when finished. If the soil is acidic most things will get corroded and just look like a dirt clod, unless it is a recent loss it won't be real shiny. John[/QUOTE]
