I have a Garrett 2500 gti with an eagle eye (two box) plus a fishers gemini-3.(two box). Close to an old metal sided barn, My garrett will not make a sound, about 12-18"from the side. while my gemini-3 will be screaming like an up-set wife.now there is no metal inside the barn,an i have moved my g-3 one way or the other,and ,about 18"either it dies out. dig it up? well, i am 82 yr. ol....YOUNG.but not that young. what do you people think????

you should see what is upsetting the wife otherwise you won't be able to go out to detect. JMHO

I beleive, that the g3 is more sensitive and is detecting the metal on the wall.
Best regards.

You could always hire little Jimmy down the street to come dig it for you! Just kidding, but it is an idea!

Git yer shovel out and learn.

You could try probing before you dig.. I've got a couple of old one piece
car radio antennas I use for that. But those are only good for 3 feet or so..
But any long thin rods can be used to probe around. Soak the ground with
water if it's hard as a rock. If you are going down the side of the metal barn
at a constant distance away from the wall, and you get that hit, just in the one
place, there could be something down there. Probably rusty iron I bet..
But I'd try to make sure it's not hitting on anything above ground.
