1. After
locating a good target (metal), pinpoint the center. If your instrument
has depth reading, take note of the depth. Practice on surface metals
with the loop held several inches above the target.
|
2. Using a sturdy digging
tool, preferably a trowel or knife, cut a horseshoe-shaped size plug
around the pinpointed target. Leave an uncut hinge area to keep the grass
in place.
|
3. Cut through the turf, being careful to cut
around the target and not damage it.
|
4. Use your digging tool to pry the turf flag up and hinge
it over. Your pinpointed target now rests down-side up.
|
5. Check for the target visually, and with your detector,
to see if the target is in the flap or remains in the hole.
|
6. A pinpointing probe can be used to speed the process
of finding the target in the flap or in the hole.
|
7. If additional dirt needs to be removed from the hole,
place it on a drop cloth.
|
8. After recovering the target, the dirst can then easily
be replaced with a minimum of spreading.

It is very
important for the future of metal detecting that you use care in digging.
--Check with your Dealer,
Area Club, Local Police, or Parks & Recreations Department.
--Some areas
may have rules on the size and type of digging tools allowed.
--Be aware
of the rules, and respect the laws and restrictions in your area.
--Unsightly
holes are dangerous to people and livestock, and detrimental to the continued
use of detectors. |
