Sorry for creating a new thread but I couldn't find a proper one to ask about this.
So here's my story and question, I recently purchased my 1st MD, a used NASA Tom tuned Fisher CZ3D and a new Garret Carrot. A couple weekends ago my b.i.l. and 2 nephews decided to go for a little hike in the woods so I brought my new detector and my nephew brought his detector.
We came across a rock in the trail, a little bigger than the size of a fist, that my MD hit on, my nephews did nothing, the pinpointer did nothing. I ground balanced and tried again and got good solid beeps with mine. So we tried to dig it but with the ground being dry and full of roots we only managed to get the the rock removed and only dug a few inches down. I was still getting a solid beep above the hole and my nephew and the pinpointer still got nothing. We were running out of time so we stopped and filled the hole back in and left.
Am I correct in thinking that the ground right there was heavily mineralized from the rock and since I was using the 10.5" coil, IIRC I was running at 5 on the sensitivity, I was hitting on the ground mineralization. That's the only time my MD made a sound the whole time. I'm not sure what happened but I'm sure I'll go back there and try again. Any thoughts or input would be great. Thanks in advance!
