I did most of this video this past summer. Shallow target recovery with a screwdriver and deep target plug cutting. Footage at the end of examples of bad plugs.
Things like this are closing detecting areas all over the country!

  • Hey Chicago Ron.. I really like this. Very commendable! Thanks for taking the time to make such an excellent video :-) My only question is: Have you ever been stopped from metal detecting in a public park? And I'd be concerned that that long handled digger (even though it has a small cutting end) would raise some eyebrows.

  • @MickTwin Thanks for the kind words1

    I have been approached by park district workers and after I show all the trash I am removing and no marks in the grass they usually say thanks, have a nice day and good luck!

    I also have a towel in my hand that usually covers the blade.

see all

  • @silver21lady dont

  • How do you clean valuable coins?

  • With a screw driver like he showed you are "air-ratting" the ground too. So it is a good thing. I need to practice this. Great info.

  • Thanks for the info!!!!! That is why I hunt in the woods because you still cover your hole back up, but you don't have to worry about it being extremely neat! Thanks again - Planejet42

  • I really enjoyed this video. Your a credit to the hobby.......and a pretty darn good detectorist. Looking forward to your future uploads.

  • Nice video!! I hate seeing all them nasty plugs.............. I like the screwdriver theory ... But something like a durable plastic rod not to scratch the coins...GOOD JOB!

  • It also helps to confirm the pinpoint job of the detector with a dowsing rod or ouija board

  • Thanks Ron!

  • Ron 1 thing folks don't consider is, it could be their luck that they step in a hole they just dug and break there own leg

  • Excellent tutorial Ron...Something that we all must do to keep Parks open to detectorists..And our hobby alive..Thank You..This one goes in my favorites..Thank You for taking the time to make this...Dave Thumbs WAY UP
