I KNOW I posted this somewhere before, but it must have gotten "borked" somehow with recent server problems.

i keep seeing posts about new people asking for permission on private property, and this is VERY important.

Hope this helps some of you who hunt yards and parks.

  I have only been detecting for a year now but the time I spent tearing up my own yard in practice was invaluable to my future relationships with those who have allowed me to hunt in theirs.  After figuring out exactly what to look for and how to pin point targets I can honestly say that my holes are no bigger than the width om my little hand shovel and I don't chase deeper bigger targets because I know that if I don't find it a little deeper thank my detector says it is then it is just a septic tank or some bucket masquerading as a silver dollar. (lol)

  Being picky about my targets has served me very well in nice yards and has gotten me a quite a few more of their neighbors invites.  It sure does not hurt when they find out that I actually did pay for half the value of that silver coin that I found.  It is like they are hunting with me when they know that I will give them a five dollar bill bill for a silver quarter and I don't mind one little bit.   Of coarse I won't offer to pay unless I think it will be necc:)

Ohh, one thing that has helped me in the local older public parkls is that I carry a work blade ( Klein) on my belt which is very tough and blunt at the end.  I use it just fine to dig with as well.  It actually works great in gravel and I use it before anything else in rocky ground. 

  People see you with a little knife and they will not even consider you to be damaging the landscape in the least.  Break out even a small shovel and deal with the cops in about one hour in one of the parks that I have hunted at a few times..

  Since this is a tutorial type of thread I will say this since I have never read it anywhere...

  I pin point in motion very very accurately by correlating the position of the target with the trailing edge of the inner coil.  As long as the target has a consistent identity and can be pin pointed in motion very tightly I can feel confident that it has a great chance to be a coin or jewelery.

I may be different but I cut a V shaped plug. You know like a triangle & leave the top attached as a flap. One cut on the left & one cut one the right. Can't tell you've been digging if done right. Quick & easy.
