Weather was gorgeous yesterday, so I stole a couple of hours and detected the verge strip in front of my permission.
(That may be one of the strangest sentences I've ever typed... 🤨)
Anyhow, my question is about sidewalk construction. There's some kind of (extremely LOUD) non-ferrous strip running along the edge of the sidewalk that sets off the D2 when the outside of the coil gets within 4"-6". I'm thinking it may be some kind of concrete form they left in-place when casting the sidewalk, or possibly the electrical line for street lights(?)
Is this common? Has anyone else run into it? Is there anything else it could be that I'm missing?
My suspicion (from the sounds I'm getting) is that whatever it is is blocking/hiding other targets, so now I have to figure out notching on the fly... Is that right?
