Went to a local abandoned school that I have hunted many times before. It was raining the whole time but I did manage to pull some finds. I was detecting by the baseball field that has been good before and was swinging around and got a good quarter signal. The signal was in a giant pile of dog ****. So I ended up digging through it with my shovel and there were two quarters within. The dog must have had the quarters for dinner. This is by far the most disgusting retrieval I have ever done. The question is would you go through some dog poop to pull 50 cents lol? Other than the poop quarters I managed to get 12 more quarters, 13 dimes, 2 nickels, and 11 pennies. Hope your day wasn't as shity as mine lol. HH, Zach.

I think I'd have done it too, but now that you have made a point of this I suppose it to be a good idea to bring plastic or latex gloves and maybe a special container, like an old prescription bottle to hold them in, just in case.

If you're gonna take the time to figure out that the target is coming from the poo, then you might as well see what it is that brought you to your knees in the first place. :thumbsup:

Of course I'd do it, without hesitation! I've dug through lots of crap to find gold fillings that fell out and were swallowed, not much difference. Same conduit as the end that licks you! I am afraid of heights though...................................

Poop in a scoop and money to boot.:laughing7: No, I would not bother but just think if the dog had swallowed a diamond ring.

Dog crap is just organic material, it washes off. I may have used my digging tool to fling it away from the target though. Now if it were a zincoln signal, it would still be there under that pile of crap.

I'd be hard-pressed to dig fifty DOLLARS out of a pile of crap, let alone fifty cents.

For fifty bucks, I'd shoot the dog, THEN dig through the crap for the money! No sense risking the dog pooping somewhere I can't find. :headbang:
