garimpo 2,301 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Fifteen years ago I introducted camo (BDU's) here for detecting clothes....many of the locals werewearing white shirts and ball caps while out beeping....any white article of clothing really standsout against the dark green jungle and that also includes white coils....Here it's not good to be seen or have people knowing where you are....especially when your alonelike I am most of the time....One thing I never thought of until last week when me and my beeping partner were in the cleanarea, he was about 400 yeads from me with the heavy green jungle for a back ground and he wasvery hard to see but every time he swung the coil I got a very distinct flash off the lower rod of thedetector....So now it's either a very light sanding or a light coat of flat black paint for the lower rod...even foryou guys beeping in the desert the same thing would happen and give your position away to eyesthat maybe you don't want to know your there.....
