Very good analagy, Skippy. That's exactly what I mean, it is detectorist's jargon. Metal detector enthusiasts who are aquanted with the term know exactly what it means.It is hobby specific slang I think. For iron/nail infested ground.
So I'm convinced that it is an appropriate phrase, better explained with woodlands analagy, thanks Skippy for reminding me.

Some metal detectors are better than others when it comes to "seeing through the trees", that's for sure.
