detecting around power plants?

[stanley]

i was recently using my bounty houter quick draw detector on in island about 400 yards from the anclote power plant on the gulf coast of fla. it is not a nuclear plant but coal burning. i kept on gettin starnge readings while i was there. when i finally got back to the boat ramp everything was fine again. i just want to know if the power plants will give you strange readings

You will get strange or false readings under power lines too! Monty

There's plenty of other beaches in the area to search. Trust me.

Not much to do with mding but you could take a fluorescent bulb to top of wheelhouse on one of our towboats..within 10 ft of radar antenna . at every sweep bulb would light up...with you holding it in your hand !!!!!
