We all try to avoid this by hitting quick mask and swinging over the target at 90 degrees.
All the time looking for a fe in the 30's. Sometimes I wonder.....
How many times have you dug nails with a coin in the mix...quite often I do.
With a tighter pattern , like the 110 pattern....Maybe we should dig more iron to get more coins.
For example on this particular hunt....
I got a high fe of 25 and a co of 10...but it sounded like a nickel should....
I dug it and sure enough, out came a large nail....after a rescan of the target I pulled a deeper nickel out.
I covered the hole back up and swung my coil over it....nothing else there now.
On my next swing just a few inches away from the hole I just dug was a high co of 46....What ????
I had just crossed this target and got nothing before the nickel hit. Now I get a 46 high tone
where there was nothing before.That large nail, iron had nulled the 46 co and I picked the nickel signal up
on the other side of the nail. This 46 co was not picked up before I took the nail and the nickel completely
masking it. Ended up being a silver rosy...
So I wonder....are we digging too much iron or not enough ?
GOOD LUCK and HH
