I just got a Discovery 1100 detector off Craigslist. Did a beach with no luck but a quarter and several pieces of junk.
So I just went out in my yard and tried it out. I came across a spot and it would beep but not every time I passed it over. Seems like it was every other time. I dug and over the hole nothing, then in the dirt I'd get a beep every other time.
If there was truly something there it would be consistent beeping right? I don't know how new the batteries are either, would that affect a reading?
I'm hesitant now to do any solid ground detecting as I don't want to be digging up all over and find nothing. Especially in my yard I rent so don't want to make the yard a mess.
