turn your sensitivity down a bit and swing derectly at the metal pole when you reverse your derection it will beep if a target is beetween you and the pole you will get a dubble beep but if you swing side to side whith the pole in front of you it will beep no matter what go back and practice some moor i used that combo to clean up tot lots and i gould get whear no other detector could go and i must comfess the M-6 is better than my compadre in the tot lot

[size=large]... The M6 is a very good detector. I can say that about many detectors on the market, from White's, Tesoro and a few others, being specific of the particular model.

I've used the M6 and MXT's I've owned with success in "tot lots" and near metal poles/structures, but it's not my favorite unit for such tasks.

The secret to working close to metal pipes and metal structures is NOT to seep toward them, but to position the search coil as close the the metal as possible, then work the search coil around/along the metal pole or object keep the search coil a uniform distance from the annoying metal. Work the search coil slowly and methodically a uniform distance from the offending metal. Then, back the search coil off
