Found a rock! Coal??

[R-n-R Magnolia SpringsAla]

Found this the other day on the swim/beach area at the lake. After some testing it hits on the 3rd notch- 1st notch on the jewelry mode, so the good news is I can get rid of it. I need to collect more and see if they all hit at the same place on the notch. Bad news is hunting at the beach w/ 3rd notch out will yield less foil/jewelry targets, No GB so I can't tune it out Come on help a hunter out!!

Do you think its coal.
Plenty of these on the beach or few and far between ?
Not sure what you can do about where they sound.
It may be a case of digging them with the rest of the goodies to get the good stuff.
Perhaps some one may chime in with suggestions.

I have never seen such a thing. Is this saltwater beach?

Nope, Lake Michigan. There's quite a bit of it on the beach prob more in the water. It can be notched out so it's not a total bust.

It's coal, I have dug up plenty of them. Save them and pass them out at Christmas

Can you GB em out?? Also does an auto-tracking machine get rid of them or a PI unit? Might make water hunting interesting? Esp using my BHID in AM mode. I'm hoping I can GB em out. Any way to combat em?

Found a lot of coal with different makes and models of detectors over the years and most all of it gives a nice Id and tone. Emailed Garrett about it one time and their response was to raise the coil a few inches above the ground.

Hot rocks are the bane of all beeper swingers. If you had a Scorpion you could ID it as such.

Can you burn the coal???? Free Fuel!!!!!

Oh, I've found a few of those in my day. You might be able to GB it out. Good luck. The Infinium would just ignore it. Happy Hunting!

Oh yeah,like Uncle Willy was sayin', the Scorpion does have a "TR discrimination" mode for identifying hot rocks and checkin' ore samples. Works great. Just thought I'd add that before I turn in. Happy hunting!
