Having a head for prospecting

[A-team]

Just curious - how many of you have the same problem?
I have had 2 gold on-lays done to my teeth, much like a gold cap. I am half way through getting my third! Too much night time teeth grinding is the culprit

So, to the point, when I squat down with the plastic spoon going over the coil and looking for the target, if I lean to close - it sets off the detector. The wife thinks it's quite funny, but I find it somewhat annoying.

At least I always have a test piece with me!

What sets your detector off.....???

I have a plate in my right wrist. Very annoying when isolating a target.

My glasses do if I get too close to the coil with the scoop when checking a target.

I keep forgetting I'm wearing steel capped boots.

Bunnings sell a good pair of all composite boots with zero metal for around $100. Best investment we made after the frustration of steel cap boots. Then there is the times I forget my wedding ring and watch and realize I wasn't onto that 3 ouncer.... 8.(

Several times now I have forgotten to take off my watch - and that's a screamer when put over the coil - and it's not even a metal watch, all rubber, but obv has internal metal.
I have composite toed boots that have a tiny metal clip above the side zip that will also scream if the coil gets too close. Basically metal is bad. No metal. Need to wear a rubber hazmat suit and NOTHING ELSE! lmao

Obviously needed a bigger coil layful: :lol:
Do you know what the plate was made of?

Hmmmmm, interesting. Dug up some reading glasses a while back. Can't remember where though?
