Thanks, Mike, for the report. I assume you ment me about the EMF problems. I was surprised I got the falsing, because I was only about 200 feet or so from any power lines above, but m a y b e, they were burried and that's where the problem was. Boy if that's true, I and "we" collectivly better be careful what we dig if we think that could be the case. I think the big lines that are burried would be encased in pretty good shielding, but what if we break out the pick ax. I guess we all should be aware of that possibility.
As far as the sensitivity goes, wow, I think I may have it backwards. I always thought that the sensitivty problems were at the beach with the salt water and black sand, however, the beach places I go, don't have too much black sand. I can also understand how some of the parks and farms and places can have that iron type soil. I'll work on the sensitivity thing too. I guess you just have to try it in manual and see how far up the scale you can go without falsing.
Again, Mike, I really loved the pictures you sent a few days ago. It's so nice to have the pictures as well as the messages. Once again, the old guy was right: "A picture is worth a thousand words" but I think in our case the words are very important too, so don't get me wrong here, I just think it's a nice adjunct to have the pictures too. Happy hunting, Marc Trainor.
