Coin Popping

Some examples of the art of Coin Popping. Coin Popping is a quick way of recovering a target with very little disturbance to the ground. It works best in dry ground, but can be done just about anywhere. You are limited in depth. Generally best for targets at 4" or less, but I have used this method on as deep as 6" targets.

It is important to KNOW where the target is and how deep. This means knowing your detector is a must. I've been detecting for 30 years and have always used method, and yes I have scratched coins in the past, but not in many years.

I thought I was getting good at pinpointing with my detector, buy you sir are a master. I can't wait for the ground to dry up a bit and give it a shot at my local park.
