Patriot & Rudy-
10-4 on the Oop's. I think the false readings idea is a great one. Collecting cans as we write.

But truthfully, anyone who read my post and belongs to uncle scum, their gonna tear up the back yard with a fine tooth comb anyway. Think about the mass murderers and serial killers (of past news stories) who've buried their "projects" in their yards. Their yards looked like a pack of wild gophers got loose in em.

False positives on the metal detector would be the only way to discourage em.......if they're "discouraged" at all. Most of those guys are tenacious and go till they can go no more (unless someting distracts em to move on).

Bottom line, I will weigh my words more carefully in the future as you are correct and I slipped up.
