    Squeezing The Wheats!

    Went back to the place where I got the nice Indian and Washington last week and went to the section that is super trashy. Decided to do an experiment with with a tight discrimination even though I knew I would get a lot of nulling out. Used my Sunray X-8 coil and in one small area I picked up 4 wheaties and in another part of the area got the 5th, not bad for about an hour hunt. Not the easiest way to hunt but it is fun to experiment some. One of the wheaties was giving me a 20-42 reading and yep there was some iron with it. The bent wheatie is either a 1909 or 1919 so worn can not tell for sure.

    You have to go slower with it smaller detecting area means slower swing speed. Investigate any plausible signal by turning at different angles. That works best for me.
