I found a lot behind a conveniece store today and it was not to trashy as I expected. Found one 1953 wheat and the rest copper memorials and clad stuff.Also hunted a little limestone parking lot next door. Today was a day to take my pinpointing seriously on vacant lots with the PRO. I am the type person who digs a whole and expects my propointer to finish the job, but today I really felt good about little targets I dug, even the junk, because i concentrated on the area under the coil and not just dig a hole and let the propointer finish it. To each his own way on pinpointing .Large targets are different(duh) but small stuff is the key for accuracy. U C all these screw caps in my pics , The Pro identified them with the magical chirp sound , but I dug them anyway , because I was practicing my pinpointing. I know my little testimony about pinpointing is old news for a lot of you , but I really felt like I stepped it up a notch today. Enjoy my junk!Find's Treasure Forums

Yeah I had a park attendant take me around one day and show me several holes "two feet" in diameter. It was mind boggling. Neither of us could fathom the logic in digging a two foot diameter hole to retrieve an object less than an inch in diameter - but to each his own I guess. Not too long ago I repaired several holes a foot in diameter in a school yard that some Yahoo had excavated. When I started in this hobby 45 odd years ago I never dug holes like that. I felt guilty if I had to dig one three inches in diameter and that's when I started my "probe and pop method" that I have used ever since. I have shuddered when I saw guys walikng into a park or schoolyard packing a full-sized shovel. Saw a guy one day with a shovel and enough tools hanging off of him to dig a swimming pool. He even had a machete hanging on his belt - perhaps to hack his way through the jungle with. HA.
Was at a school one time and saw this guy come in with his three kids, each one packing a shovel. He would swing his detector, and with each beep ( good target or not ), he would holler "dig" to his house apes and they would start shoveling. When he and his crew finally left empty handed the place looked like a war zone. These are examples of the Yahoos out there who give this hobby a bad name.
