Things To Remember While MDing

[northeast hunter]

I would like to start this tread to help pepole out in the filed.
So any suggestions on things to remember might help someone out.
One thing i try to tell myself while i am out there is when you get a signal
whether a bad broken signal or just that low one,or the signal just on the
plus side is what ever made that signal is made of metal.We and i mean
all of us at one time or another say its just a piece of junk and just keep going
to the next signal.You never know there may be a silver dime under that junk
or that junk may be that diamond ring or just maybe its a gold coin on it's side
well we can wish anyway.
I do dig allot of junk so that gold coin is not going to elude me,at least that what
i think.good luck everyone and may all your hunts be you best one.
H H O yea don't forget to check them batteries

One of my best finds so far this year hsa been a 1914 canadian cent, the large ones they used to mint. The signal was a little broken and kind of sounded like a bottlecap, but I dug anyway. I'm glad I did. The only time I don't dig up a questionable target is when my MD can't pinpoint it.

the 2 Rings I found last week gave Double Signals when I switched to all metal to re-check. normally this means nail.


another thing to remember, slow down and Lap your swings.
