I was hunting last night in the dark, had a hole dug and was using the Pro Pointer using the nickel/double the depth trick when I let the nickel slip to the ground. OK I said, I'll just find it with the detector or the PP. Danged! the thing is still lost. I went back today in the daylight(My own yard anyway) and searched again, both with the 10 D2, then the Pro Pointer and then the 6x10 DD. That sucker will not pick up, and I absolutely know the small area it fell. I maybe filled it in with the dirt last night, which is the only way I can see that it is unreadable. This was up close to my circle drive cement, and that cement is reinforced. I can read other surface coins fine. This is strange! Like it feel through a black hole. martin
Never mind. It was several feet away on the path I took toward the door going in. It obviously landed on and rode my tennis shoe til it fell off. It was driving me nuts!
