I need some help/advice in metal detecting the low country soil around Charleston, South Carolina. I spent the last couple of days searching my parents’ property with poor results. The soil characteristics are:
• Sandy with some organic matter,
• The moisture content is low (not dry) (0 = desert dry and 10 being waterline sand, this is a 2.5).
• Loaded with roots from nearby oak and pine trees.
I am using an AT Pro. I used variety discrimination settings. But it just seems that every one would produce a false hit. I tried the auto ground balance down to 40. When I had no success, I took it down another 10 and 20 points.
I am good on the beach, but this is driving me crazy........![icon_scratch :icon_scratch: :icon_scratch:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/icon_scratch.gif)
Can someone recalibrate me and tell me what I could do to improve my success?
