All this talk about detecting got me to thinking. My current detecting boots are pretty worn and sole starting to crack some. Here is their replacement from Bates boots. A bit expensive but good quality I have read. They will carry me to many adventures in Tennessee and the western deserts.

Do you have a coil cover IE(Skid Plate) on your coil if you do remove it and clean it out you would be surprised at what can accumulate under the coil and in the coil cover (Skid Plate), also if you have friends that likes to pull jokes on you I have known of friends pulling the skid plates on peoples coils putting a small bit of metal in the skid plate and then re installing the skid plate its all done in fun but it has happened it will cause all kinds of falsing when detecting

and no I have never played jokes on people LOL
No one has keys to my workshop but me. And anyone who would pull a joke on me like that isn't a friend.

Thank you for your reply

Since we are starting to talk about boots and stuff, I was wondering what gloves do you use when detecting, and where can I get them?. I'm looking for something that the fingers won't shred apart when I'm moving the dirt.

Thank you all so much!

I'm not saying to forget the site your digging but sometimes it's best to move to the next hole or two and come back to it later. Just my two penny's worth.
Good Luck
