Has this ever happened to you?

Was out in the middle of the woods for a few hours yesterday and hadnt got even one beep in over an hour, then i saw a spot of woods that i just had a feeling about, it was just a small area the size of a table.? For some reason it was liek it was calling me to come detect over it.? It lookd no different than the rest of the woods, I was really surprised when i swung my coil over it and actaully got a beep ? Turned out to be a huge vintage hinge.? Made by Lawrence Hardware, around 1930's-1960's i think.? Very well made hinge, still works jsut a little beat up ? Weird, wouldnt have found it unless i got that feeling to detect there :P

If my metal detector didn't beep for an hour I would think it was broken -- nice hinge 8)

Yes intuition plays a part of this hobby. ?I have done this too once in awhile. ?We have this woman in our detecting team that I swear she doesn't need batties in her machine she does so well. ?She say's she just listens to "Almost a Noise!" ?The way I see it, ?there either is a noise or there isn't.

i think the reason it was not beeping for an hour was i was not in a very good area, i was just walking around randomly in the woods. Most of the good stuff is not in the middle. And YES it was turned on :P

Almost the same thing happens to me all the time. Only my intuition is when to dig or not dig. Often I get a very ordinary junk type signal and something just tells me to dig it. When I get that feeling more often than not it turns out to be a good find. That's exactly what happened when I recently found my first class ring. Incidentally, I know everything there is to know about the owner except where he is! I even have a picture of him from a high school year book! Monty
