ummm, might work better if the coil cable was wound around the shaft. lots of false readings the way he has it now...................roger
I think the police should be better trained at using metal detectors. I ran into a goodie in the 70s when I became a dealer. The manager of the Dairy Queen
was found murdered behind the building which was borderd by tall grass and bush. A knife was the murder wepon. I went down to the scene of the crime with my top detectors. Two cops were in tall grass using heathkit detectors and they were swinging the coils a foot or more above the ground and no grid lines. I offered my help free of charge and offered to lend the detectors to them and explained that the detectors I had were superior to theirs in depth and the coils were waterproof as there were puddles all over the place.My offer was declined, no wepon was found and the murder remains unsolved. I left laughing to myself nd mumbling the word "idiots:" HH Ken.

All of that AND I don't see a ProPointer anywhere. With that fine detector they're probably gonna need THE BEST pinpointer!

Apparently they don't understand all they know about detecting. 
I love that cable flopping around in the breeze.

Since they're doing everything else wrong it would be interesting to see how they have it set up. No wonder crimes never get solved.

Looks like one of those cheap detectors from China (note:the rod is metal all the way to the coil) one of those high dollar ($49.99) machines LOL

they are using a fisher 1266 xb detector, not cheap china junk.

Yeah it gets tiresome fast when you have the coil at a 90 degree angle to the shaft. Bet they ain't finding much except maybe any metal in their shoes.
