I don't know if its me or my detector, but I'm getting frustrated!
Went to a friends house today that is over 100 years old and my machine just doesnt seem right.
I have the BH Discovery 3000 from Radio Shack. On the plus side today I think I got the ground balance to work and the pin pointer seemed to be ok. I did find that every once in a while everything buzzed with the pin pointer but if I wen tback to detect mode then back to pin point it seemed to work
?
Now his whole back yard was buzzing with stuff apparantly and the the whole yard seemed to ring at about 199? Very strange. I set the disc to no iron and it still seemed to ring everywhere, but was better. I turned the sensitivity to almost all the way down and it cleaned it up a little more. But still had ALOT of hits comming in at 199. I was digging everything that wasnt 199 and only found junk. I even found a big iron chunk from an old sewer drain with iron discrimination set. Is this normal. I re-checked the whole and the plug and nothing, just the old iron pipe. Should have skipped it I would think. Rang in as nickel/pull tab. Moved out farther back past the tree lines to just an open field and I was not getting all the bogus signals of 199, so we stayed out that way a little bit. dug all the signals that were showing dimes/quarters and they were pretty much junk also. Old tube of some sort, kind of like old toothpast, or cream. Found a bunch of aluminum can pieces. A piece that looked like a wire coat hanger. Piece of aluminum pipe of some sort.
Is it me? Any help would be appreciated.
