After about 10 hours of searching I've become quite adept at finding coins with ease. I'm hunting in stuff that was built around '75 so the oldest I've found is a '44 wheat... but still... pulling out 10 coins an hour or so.
Anyway, I got a typical coin signal. Said 6 inches. I start digging, scanning my hand fulls of dirt each time. Get down to about 7 inches and nothing. The detector is still chirping over the hole and the pinpoint puts it right in the hole... this time 9 inches down. I keep digging. Get about a foot down, my hole is quite large at this time. The signal is much lighter but still in the middle of the hole. Barely registering now it seems so I scan the rest of my dirt and the area around it. No signal other than the now-weak one in the hole. Dig down another 2-3 inches and now I'm barely hearing any signal but it's still pinpointing (barely at this point) right in the middle of the hole and nowhere else.
I eventually gave up. Any idea what caused it?
