Dances With Doves Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 2 hours ago, Steve Herschbach said: Well, after 45 years of detecting I get fooled also. There will always be questionable targets. I get ones that are real borderline, and I’m pretty sure they are ferrous. The thing is, we are out there to metal detect, and that means digging stuff up sometimes to see what it is. So I figure, hey, why not, and dig it up. And it’s usually junk. But every once in a while it is not. What I’m trying to say is that in my opinion, if you are not digging a little junk you are not trying hard enough. I look for reasons to dig, not reasons to avoid digging. I think some of the less successful among us are those who cannot tolerate digging junk, so they use high discrimination settings and cherry pick the targets. They are the people that say a park is hunted out. Then people like me go in and recover all the finds they left behind. So don’t worry about digging a little junk... it’s a good thing! I don't mind getting fooled a few times as long as I make a good find.In certain spots it pays to go for ugly signals.I was using my 10' 7kz xterra coil which was not best choice since ring targets were nickel hits.I got a deep soft iron hit and dug my 7th Jesuit ring.It was the only ring that day since we pounded that area before .My friends got no rings.
