What happens here
The presenter walks to the tree that needs to be removed, a large post oak, which is shading his garden. He notes that post oaks grow slowly and have gnarly, tough wood. He mentions that the tree might contain hidden metal, such as old clothesline or railroad spikes. To address this concern, he introduces a Garrett Super Scanner V metal detector, which can scan about 6 inches deep into the wood. He will use this to check for any metal objects before making cuts, which is crucial to protect the chainsaw chain and ensure safety.
Goal: Assess the tree and detect any metal objects within it.
