[QUOTE="mike90199, post: 93611, member: 3589"] hey guys mike here .I noticed a few weird things today when I was searching some parks .it had been raining a bit today so maybe that had something to do with it . but I noticed a lot of the time I was searching and picking up signals but when I dug there was nothing there .the soil was very dense and hard with lots of roots . I had this one site where I got a good reading I think it was 38-40 or something like that and when I dug it and used pinpoint the pinpoint mode would scream then I would dig again and nothing there .then id put the detector over it again and the pinpoint mode would scream to the left of the hole then id do it again and the pinpoint would change position again .when I was searching this time the sensitivity was around about 28 when I got another false signal before it was 24 im just wondering if it is the way I have set up the detector or maybe my sensitivity was to high or something else . maybe I need to invest in something that is a bit stronger or maybe I just doing things wrong ?. I did find my first dollar tho burried about 4 inches under a slide so I guess that's a plus :). [/QUOTE]
