Were you able to successfully GB at the site where you found the dime?
I didn’t make it as clear as I wanted, but the dime was found at the same chisel plow field site, just not in the field itself - it was in a grassy area that was part of the property but wasn’t part of the plowed field. But yes, I think I got a decent GB there, which I carried over into the field.
Next time you get a "good" signal, before digging, lower your sensitivity to get an idea how how much difference it'll make, then note the depth of the target.
I’ll absolutely do this - great common sense advise! Thanks! Again...I shoulda thought of that!
I know it's one of the farmers busiest times of the year, but I'd ask him the 1st chance I got (without bothering him) if there was something "different" done in that field, between the time frame of the 2 hunts where you'd experienced the issues.
I was thinking the same - that’s definitely worth a shot to ask.

Thanks much for these. The Metal Detecting World article is especially interesting - among several other things, it gives a some interesting tips for exactly how to adjust GB to help in soil that is suspected to be more aggressively mineralized. Good stuff!
