Seven Metal Detecting Tips

Went on a quick trip to a neighborhood playground that I have not searched for over two years. Hopes were high but was soon apparent that more trash than treasure would be the result.

No worries... able to give the ear an exercise in listening for changes in tones when the target may or may not be a coin.

Did find two pennies as well as coming away with seven lessons learned when detecting with the Fisher 1225X...

• Changes in tone
• Changes in direction
• Perpendicular to sidewalks
• Searching near metal
• Lead will fool you
• Rusted iron tone
• Increase discrimination to check a target

Do check it out... may be useful for others with a similar metal detector!

Good Luck and Good Detecting!
