So, I thought I'd have about an hour before the storm rolls in, and I dash out to the closest elementary school to hunt around in there. So, I get all set up, get the metal detector out, put my glove on, the knee pads, and I just realize - I forgot the shovel! Darnit! OK, strike one... I let it go, and head over to the playground....
I get there find a couple of pennies, a paperclip, and keep going. I then move on to some grass next to the playground.. start to dig up a plug there and my hand-spade breaks! It's plastic, not a metal one! Strike two!!
So, then I go back to the play area (all shreadded tires in there) so I figure, OK if I get another hit, I'll just move the tire chunks away with my hand no problem... I then get a hit! I scoop away, and keep scooping, strong signal! ... keep scooping... hmmm this is pretty deep.... about 10" down... it's a huge metal sheet like you put over chicken coops (has the grooves every 2")! All over the play area... now the detector is getting positive hits on the metal sheet underneath all the shreadded tire. OK, I'm done.
I guess I'll be shopping now for a new hand spade/digger.
