Hit on a big target yesterday. It was hitting high numbers so I thought I would dig it just for the heck of it......Pinpointed it best I could with the coil raised high above it......I dug and dug. Signal was strong and the pro pointer would sound when it got near the hole. Stuck the pin pointer down in the hole and got the same...I dug a hole almost four feet deep. Signal was the same. Reached down as far as I could with the pinpointer and it was silent so I started taking dirt from the sides of the hole. Detector was saying I was in the middle of the target.....long story short, it was three round steel straps of a big barrell that had been buried years ago. I was digging in the middle of them..lol....One sore back and an hour later this sixty year old was feeling like I had been had...lol....I did recheck the hole after the straps were removed....does it happen to all of us or is it just me?
