Hi Tim, I'm in West now using a Fisher Gold Bug 2 and found 3 stones, none of which I saw before the detector sounded off. Only one would have been visible at all. One was buried in grass and the other under 2" dirt in a plowed field. It picked up only 2 meteorwrongs today.
I was shown how to tune the detector my last trip here in a way that all chondrites (and slag) give a negative signal (a boing sound) and all man made trash gives the usual positive signal (a sharp zip sound). It's very easy to mentally tune out the zips. Works very well for both L's and H's. Contact me and I'll demonstrate.
