Im a newbie around here just received my 1st detector for Christmas this year. I was able to put in about 4 hours on my machine yesterday around my yard. I was 12+ inches down and elbow deep trying to figure out what my machine was telling me. I wasnt getting a steady signal, it was jumping all over the place. Anyway, I kept on, digging deeper and deeper. Finally i hit metal. Couldnt tell what it was and I was running my fingers around the edge trying to see if I could pry it loose when all of a sudden I SLICED MY FINGER WIDE OPEN!OUCH!!!! I ran inside, cleaned out my wound and headed back out the yard with a vengence. What I finally uncovered was a really old license plate that is so corroded I can barely make out that it appears to be from this state(SC). Basically, the moral of this story is PLEASE, make sure your tetnus shot is up to date, and maybe use gloves too?!!!!!!!!!(thankfully mine is, so no worries, I hope!) Happy hunting all......Gina
