Hey folks,
I lost a $150 flashlight while working at some acreage about 2 months ago. Yes, I should have used the holster
I walked the route of where on the 30+acres I'd been that day, twice, looking visibly and poking around a bit with no luck.
I may have buried it under ~3-10" road base/rock with the tractor that day....or worse case, it may be buried in a 3'Dx12'L trench I filled with a metal culvert and rock....
I now have a Garrett Ace 300 and could use some advice on how best to tone out/discriminate the metal culvert when searching that area-if I don't find the flashlight just in other road or dirt....
Would you just set on highest sensitivity and tone out until you hear 'something different' or can you start by toning out the metal culvert?
Different metals in the flashlight, but manuf. shows aluminum alloy as primary.

I am 'newby' technically as I just bought this Ace 300 and have not learned intricacies yet. Had some old radio shack model in the 70s, but this is much lighter and likely to get more use.
Looking forward to learning and sharing with this group.
Thanks,
