What are some of your learning experiences that you care to share?
One lesson I learned not too long ago was that my detector detects metal that is above the coil as well as below...this would have been useful knowledge to me when I had just gone to a park only a few days after getting my detector. I realized right away that I couldn't detect right next to the metal poles associated with playground equipment, however, after I dug that hole to China underneath the swing and finally gave up finding my target which I just knew was going to be a real prize....it was months later that it finally dawned on me that I was getting a reading on the swing hanging over my coil instead of something being in the ground.....dahhh.
