I went out today for a few hours on an old homestead site. First half hour was all signals in the 60's, which resulted in mostly old shotgun shell brass. Lots and lots of iron, much on the surface.
I had two or three really good signals mixed in with bad. At one point I was reading a 99, but surround it was iron signals. One of them I could not recover yet as it was in a buried brick pile and I only had a Lesche digger. I'll be back for that one.
The other the AT Pro was hitting in the upper 80s at a depth of 10+ inches. I dug and ended up recovering a horseshoe about 8 inches deep. Scanned the hole again and nothing.
On the surface the horseshoe was doing the same thing. Jumping from iron to high 80s. Is it possible there are different metals mixed in, or does the machine jump a lot on junk targets?
On the way out I had a solid signal in the 80s with no mixed signal. Ended up digging a Deere Reich-Ash hinged tin, from what appears to be from the 1930s in a spot away from the homestead. That was the only find from today, so at least not skunked.
Any tips on the AT Pro for signals like this?
