 Hi Gary and all. #2 I prefer and use the Gold Bug 2 by Fisher. It will find 
an H5 of 5 grams and under all day long.
 I run it as sensitive as it will go and then turn the sensitivity back to 
7. It goes to 10 but I normally don't run it on 10 unless I am digging very 
small stuff. The other thing I really like is that is so simple to use I 
never need to look at the controls, they are that simple.
 #3 I use a digging tool with three prongs on one side and a blade like a 
hoe on the other. Right up against the handle on the underside of the prongs 
I stick a 2 X 2 X 1/2 inch very powerful magnet. As I am digging a target it 
will stick as I am scratching around in the dirt. Meteorites and iron thrash 
both stick.  So it makes the process much faster.
