5 Blisters and a Iphone 6

[s2ndjetli]

So yesterday I learned something interesting. Took a trip with my parents and decided to test out my moms Garrett I 250. I know its not a professional unit but it was still a nice tool. Off I went sweeping my 5 gen grandparents land hoping to find that one and only treasure that would allow me to retire...LOL Half way out the unit starts showing signs of copper and silver, BAM I KNEW IT so a diggin i go.. nothing.. over and over again this happens.. Eventually after 4 hours and blood coming from blisters on my digging hand I stopped and looked back only to notice my land looked like a golfer had a field day with divets. So I pulled out my IPhone from my pocket to take a picture when the unit went NUTS. At that point I learned what had happened.. well that and realizing I was wearing steal toed shoes.. SO just a heads up.. watch them smart phones.

Another thing, Do not wear your wedding band. My brother-in-law on his 1st hunt was swinging handfuls of dirt in front of the coil looking for the target his machine hit on. Every handful gave him a mid tone and yet no metal objects in the dirt.

I made the wedding ring discovery pin-pointing.

I have a few pairs of shoes that contain no metal in them. I also have issues with even a digger or pinpointer on my hip, so I now use my pouch like a purse. Keeps those items up close to my chest. May get a vest. I can say you will find stuff with your never give up attitude.

Good advice, I WILL try it. It is discouraging when half a day is gone and all you have found is a roofing nail..lol Live and learn..

Someone needs to practice digging a proper plug.

And how to fill the holes back up like you were never there.
