Dear Paul,
You are asking a question that has no exact anxwers. Totally depends on
the amount of iron in the shale, the moisture in the ground, the back
ground iron in the soils, the strength of the detector, the abilities of
the swinger, and LUCK. ....wouldn't bet my life on any of these variables.
