On the first night my wife and I ever went out into the back yard to turn on our new metal detector (at the time) we knew something was up with the grubs! I didn't understand it at the time, and even to this day when I get signals and start digging - I come across those grubs. I kinda narrowed it down to the soil condition. I personally believe that metal will "condition" the soil in such a way that grubs find nutrition, or something else beneficial to them. Thanks for the post, Pappy.

Dug hundreds of those little bandits, but never noticed if that created finds or not. I'll pay attention from now on.
