Wait, before you pounce on the air testing or the BH you have to understand I'm bored its 15 here and I am stuck in.
I only have one detector BH SSII, and I have found quite a lot of items the first few times out so it works. I also have a basement with no metal in the concrete floor, I presume they were too cheap to put it in but it is very nice for the MD.
So the question is I can fool my target ID pretty easy by placing a rusted nail two inches from a copper penny passing at about 6 inches over it, the odd thing is without the penny there I had the nail disc or notched out and I get nothing add the penny and I get an Iron signal (which is disc out) will this happen with other more expensive detectors also, or is it the limitations of the BH?
Does it make sense then, that if I have notched/disc ferrous items but still get an Iron signal I should probably dig? (my yard seems to have a lot of old square nails that the BH likes to find deeep without the ferrous notched) My air testing seems to say dig these signals when ferrous is notched.
