Iam a newbe. How do you know if the ground is mineralized. Iam getting false readings and think this may be why, but Iam not sure.I get like one beep on something then the next swing its gone. This seems to happen in the silver a lot. I tryed turning down the sensitive and this helped but iam still getting some false readings. Is it the ground or me?

Most of the ground i hunt in is brown or black in color. I do find some red and yellow clay but it all seems to do this.

Well, I detect near you, and on some Friday nights we come and watch the high school football games That attract thousands of people!

Tennessee buddy, Check it out.
I have very little problems with mineralization there. It may be just the spot you're detecting.


I try to keep my post's short and to the point. And here is the trick to Metal Detecting. Don't listen to the other B.S.


Attitude=Be positive Go in the site thinking I'm going to find something today!
relax
have fun
Use factory settings for a while

All the other crap just confuses people
