My fellow Treasure Hunting Club Member (Phil), and I were detecting a permission that had a house on it that was built around 1890. Phil was approached by the next door neighbor and asked if he could locate a property stake that he knew was somewhere by a tree, close to the front sidewalk.
Phil hit the area with his CTX but evetytime he got close to the sidewalk his machine would overload. To make matters worse, the search area was directly below the power lines and in close proximity to a transformer. Phil called me over and asked me to try with the DEUS.
I turned down the sensitivity, (85), and turned up the frequency, (17.5). About 4 inches from the sidewalk, I got a shallow target with a VDI of 6. (Iron). A quick incision and at 2 inches was a rebar with red tape. The neighbor, (Don), was a happy camper. Glad we could help, and yes, we got another permission.
