I wanted to mention one thing about metal detectors (since I am asked about them alot) people give way to much credit to the ability of metal detectors, I mean sure a gemini 3 can go down 15 feet but only if you have a Tank buried the same thing with the TM808, the PI models such as the pulstar 2 are probably a little better than the two box type but not much, unfortunately the advertising hype is just way out of line about how deep these detectors can detect, another thing air testing is not really accurate since when you detect through the ground you do lose depth compared to through the air.
If you are lucky 8 feet is probably the max depth your going to get from most of these machines and the cache has to be a decent size like the size of a bowling ball minimum. This is why not many people have found caches out there because they think a detector is going to reach them and when they don't they just give up.
