Cut my load in half today. Had an idea to go to the hardware store today for some of those little flags used to mark underground utilities.
Went to a very small park and just took my detector, headphones, and a handful of the flags. Left the digging gear in the car.
Found four signals i liked and marked them with the flags, writing the depth and vdi numbers on the flags.
Then went back to the car, not far at all, and switched gear. Armed with a digger, pointer and ground cloth i went back to retrieve my loot. First three holes gave me two pennies and a dime. 4th hole had deepest signal, 10 inches. I dug and dug and at 10 inches with the pointer only hitting on the sidewall i decided to let it go.
All the signals were 24/26 so it was likely another penny. But it was an easy way to detect, given the small size of the park.
