this aint never happened before...

[aa battery]

went detectin at an old site where 6 dogs followed. My detectors jack is bad so i didnt use headphones. All of a sudden 1 of the dogs started howlin and criyin so i turned it off . The small dog sat there not cryin anymore. I then turned it on again and the dog cryed again. Wat the heck made that dog cry?

That sounds like a high frequency sound coming out of that machine, above your own hearing range. In my house in Mexico, I use ultra sound repellent devices, sold by Steren. I get virtually no mice; no rats; no scorpions, if I do see one of these things it is usually near the door, and just sits there waiting for a size 13 shoe to send it to its fate. Maybe one mouse a year, one scorpion every two or three months.

Once a cousin came in the house to ask me for help with something. I put my shoes on and he was horrified that I did not shake them out first. In his house, he has to, I do not.

Anyway, dogs can hear a much higher pitch than you can. Hope this helps.

I've even had dogs react to my detector when I was wearing headphones. Just imagine if someone turned on their detector right next to a busy dog park! Best wishes, George (MN)

The dog was afraid you were going to dig up the stuff he buried and tried to distract you....

Maybe the dogs thought the sound made them sterile.
