Digging in the woods behind my office--80-100 yr old trees. No signs of previous habitation ( foundations etc...). Got a 01-46 reading about 4 feet from an old mulberry tree. I dug down about 8 inches and hit a very large root. I am close as my sun-ray pinpointer detects the target with ease. Trouble is I have to return with an ax and shovel to finish the excavation. I am not familiar with digging a number such as this. Anyone care to venture a guess---I am not a relic hunter so maybe this number is common???? It is a solid 01-46 with an occasional jump to 01-47-----there is no bouncing around of the numbers. Guess away---I am interested in what you have encountered in the past with these numbers! Thanks-----I will post my find as soon as retrieval is completed. HH---Boog

Might want to consider a cable saw. That's what I use for the big roots. You can find cheap ones at harbor freight.
Don't kill the tree getting that buggar out of there (cutting roots).------I had one like that once & did a side angled "tunnel" down to the original hole to get under the root.-----The target ended up being a Morgan dollar.---Took some work getting it out of there but it was worth it.-------Keep going, we just GOTTA know what's down there!

-------------DelRemoved large root--down about one foot now. My pinpointer still picks it up in about 4-5 inch circle. Usually when the object is this large it is junk. BUT the # is now a 1-45 with an occasional 1-46. Still solid----Pouring down rain now---Will not keep you on the edge of your seats past 10 tomorrow morning.I am capturing this all on video and no matter what the outcome I will post. I sure hope I don't have to eat a hubcap!
