Bohemia Miner Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 15 hours ago, GotAU? said: I pulled out pounds of modern nails from trees around a lake in the Olympics when I was a backcountry ranger there. While bucking some logs, we also found old square nails imbedded deep when the tree grew around them. That lake was a favorite campsite for many generations. Good idea using a detector for them, it wouldn’t be good breaking a bandsaw blade on your mill! Klunker is right, the nails will be only head high unless the tree was fallen already. The logs are in piles. He's going to take them one at a time and roll them as he checks them. He only wants to detect 16 feet up from the bottom cut. For some reason he wants it to penetrate 12". I think 9" is good. Thanks! Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
