hunting near old trees with huge root systems on top of the ground

This might seem simplistic, but found it made a world of difference to me, when hunting in some of the older Virginia parks.
There they had very old trees.....hundreds of years old....with root systems on top of the ground. I would have to raise/lower my coil when hunting them. Then, started running the coil parallel to the roots. I wouldn't have to move the coil up or down....just next to the roots. Found several deep coins that I was not hearing when moving the coil up and down, over the roots. Try it....it worked for me.

Simple idea, but sounds good!

Another trick that works good is to switch over to a larger coil to compensate for the height of the roots. Or if you have a 4" or 5" coil use that for the inbetweens. The large coil technique works real good.

Does anyone have tips for digging by trees. There's a big tree in my yard and I get some good hits by it but I have a lot of trouble recovering whats there.
