One tool I got to have when hunting is a probe. I mostly use a long thin standard screwdriver. It's great for popping out shallow coins,and probing for the deeper ones. Once I pinpoint a target, I get down and start poking it in the ground. Once you feel the coin you only have to cut a small plug to bring it up. This saves you a lot of time & best of all your not digging all those manholes that give us a bad name. After a lil time you will know the fill of a piece of Alum. in the nickle range, so then you can decide to dig or not. You will notice that after a couple thousand coins the driver will become pointed. Hope this helps those who are new. And anyone got something faster, please let us know.
