Default Last warm spell put me over the.....

200 coin mark ! 203 ! ($7.85) New '08 tally = Ferrous @ 12lbs-10.7oz., 105 P-Tabs, 45 B-Caps, 86 nails !, 4 keys and 1 horseshoe. From 55.5 hours of hunting give or take an hour.
One thing I don't understand is why nails give me such a wide range of signals. How about an explanation from the pros, please. I know there are different materials and all but......Okay, the one that gets me is when it rings up as (.25) and then I get that darn nail. Not all the time mind you.
Thanks in advance,
Marty

Great totals brother. Only been at this for a year but I see the same thing as you do. Dont know why though. The only thing that seems different is the tone. Anyway HH. WOLF

Default I count it all...

I thought right from the start I'd keep an MD diary, so now it's habit. As far as iron it's really the only use our digital kitchen scale gets.
Kinda picky with that sort of thing. Senility setting in ? Maybe it'll pay off for me sooner.
