Free Metal Detecting Tips
False signals
Author: Internet Tip
In my experience, the Minelab Sovereign will give false good signals coming off the edge of certain types of junk. It will also give a very repeatable false signal BETWEEN two pieces of junk. These have to be judged in all metal. If the good signal comes right after and on the edge of a nulled out piece of junk, it's probably a false signal. Pay attention to whether it's a broken signal. If it is and it won't hit when swinging from the opposite direction, that is, across the 'good' signal first then the junk, it's almost certainly a false signal. The false good signal between two junk nulls will null in all metal. Certain 'hot rocks' (I assume they are minerals, but I have never dug one out to confirm it) will also ring good on disc. but null on all metal. I find the sov will ring good occasionally on a deep (unfortunately) square nail. I don't dig a LOT of them. I think it has to do with the halo and the nail's size and/or the way it's laying. Most of them don't hit. Maybe a meter would help me on this. Hope you find these experiences helpful. If any of you experienced guys disagree with any of this, let us know why and/or give us any additional observations.

I'll never forget the first time I swung a metal
detector and it BEEPED!
I dug up my treasure and I held that shiny circle of metal in my hand--a
quarter!! Wow! A whole twenty-five cents! Since then I have treasured
hunted all over the world. This site has info on keene metal detecting outings and hopefully
anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting,
and finding gold!
One thing that I have found indispensible for any type of treasure hunting or metal detecting are a good set of maps. With a set of topo maps or historical maps, you can find treasure caches that no one else knows about. Find ghost towns, long lost encampments, shanty towns, old farms, schools churches, roads, you name it! My favorite place to get maps is online from Maps.com. They have a huge selection.
And if you are an undersea treasure hunter, you need a good GPS and nautical charts. Fugawi has a great selection of these available on their website.
Good luck!
