Best way to mark a site, so you can come back and dig later

[ManInTheWall]

Any suggestions on things to use to mark a site, so you can come back later to dig it?

I thought maybe popsicle sticks!

I use those little survey flags with the fluorescent flags on them.
I cut the wire short enough so I can put several in my find pouch,also comes in handy to mark an area for gridding purposes.

Why can’t you dig them as you find them?

I'm with IDXmonster, dig immediately. But I do mark potential "sites" to visit later on Google maps, just drop a pin and make a list.

I think you are talking about gridding out a specific location. I also use those little utility flags that are used for marking gas lines..whatever while I am detecting.... If you are worried the next time you might go over some of the same area... do not worry... I always laugh at these people that just think because they went over it... it is cleaned out...

I sometimes will use those neon colored flags unless I think someone else will poach. The bright orange golf tees work in green grass but not so much in short dry/dead grass. Sometimes a small surveyors tape in a knot on a branch is easy to see from a distance if you’re off the grid a bit. GPS a good idea. Just remember, ya plant it then pull it when you leave.
