I didn't wait a half hour so maybe that is the problem for me. Besides my equipment is different. It's certainly worth a test to see when the storms hit.
Early tests in not too much solar activity I was better able to hit the test target using the Contraption all-electronic locator using a one second sweep of four Hz either side of 612 Hz gold frequency. I know better than to make any proclamation until a few days of testing. I have a new name for the frequency sweep "Shake it off". LOL I know many times I get a line and nothing there, but just walking through the area it seems to degauss and next time I get a good hit. This might be what is happening here. So we will see what happens in the days to come. I turned on the transmitter for ten minutes before searching.
