I am fairly new but have gotten pretty good at just the basics. I was using an ACE 250 in an open field with no junk distractions. I got a faint hit, so I knew it would be deep. When I pinpointed it with the detector it said it would be 4-6 inches down. I went well below it and around it but got nothing. Finally I had to quit because the sun went down and I couldn't see a thing. I am bummed. It's been a sucky couple of days of hunting for me. Yesterday I hunted for a solid 8 hours and came up with 3 pennies and mounds of crap. I love reading everyone's posts and it sounds like you all do very well. At this point I would just be grateful for a wheatie!

Location; could someone be watching me ? Could they care if I'm to my waste in a hole ?
Do I have the energy and equipment to keep going ?
If gas or oil starts Squirting, can I run fast enough to avoid
an explosion & arrest ?
If I hit a China'man , or Aussie on his big toe, would it be considered an international incident ?
& at what depth do I need a passport ?
