Before you post
- Be respectful. Discuss the claim and the evidence.
- Hunt and plant only with the land manager’s permission and within applicable rules. A public-land label is not detecting permission.
- Keep precise find locations, private property details, and personal information private.
- Identify your detector, coil, firmware and conditions when sharing settings. Keep manufacturer guidance, community experience, and measured SSL tests distinct.
- Polls record members’ opinions; votes are not performance measurements.
- SSL starter discussions are labeled editorial prompts. Participation, replies, and votes come from actual signed-in contributors.
