It Amazes Me how small the Targets can be and be Detected

Found this small charm yesterday (along with 2 other charms and 100 modern coins) in a park. It was about 2 inches down and registered a solid 07 25 on my machine.

Yeah I know. Just wait till you get into the very small lead split shot sinkers. I have had them read out as a dime.

The sensativity of the EXII can be amazing

I've picked up shotgun shot with my MXT. Talk about a real pain in the arse.

I've picked up some very small targets with my Hawkeye. Some of the small coins are only about the size of a small fingernail. Trouble is, you get a signal, dig up a clump of earth, then lose the signal completely !! I've spent ages trying to find some of the small items, even when it's been in my hand

I dug up a BB with the MXT, talk about hard to locate the target!

I've gotten BB size shot at approx 15" in a cornfield. Small clothing rivets and metal buttons in same field at 18". Amazing!!!!

Try to find a BB in the water, it just keeps going through the scoop.......Gil...........

That happens to me Gil all the time and what I do it skim the surface sand after it drops thru and walk it to shore and find it that way... Doing so I have recovered 2 really nice stud earrings but most of time when that happens they are bullets or brads

Craig, try putting a wad of stainless steel screen inside your scoop when the need arises. Another method would be to carry a square of fiberglass screen. Insert it into your scoop, when the scoop is full, remove the screen and sand bundle, sift it in the water like a tea bag or check its contents on shore. Just my 'Ingenuity" talking.
