Out Slot - Screwdriver Coin Pop'n Today :detecting:

[John-Edmonton]

Looks like some of the school sports fields are starting to soften up a little. I could push my screwdriver down to about 3 inches before I hit frost. And that is definetly acceptable for coin pop'n. All one needs, is an electronic pin-pointer, a screwdriver and the right machine/coil for the job. Using this method allows one to get those targets out of the ground real fast without digging any holes, and that keeps sports fields open to detectorists. No rings today, but I have all year to get them.

I have never gotten the hang of using probes or screwdrivers...I really should though...

HH,

Your coin & ring count should go up about 30%.

It looks like you prefer a screwdriver over a coin probe. Is it more of a cost issue or is it that the screwdriver can do just as well?

 

[John-Edmonton]

A screwdriver acts both as a probe and target removal tool. Now I am talking about targets down to about 3+ inches. Beyond that, I use my Garrett or Lesche digger. I am mostly a coin and jewelery hunter, and most of the common coins are shallow. But.....along with those many surface coins come silver and gold rings (plus pulltabs and other junk).

Is there a good video on coin popping?
