Terrible plugs! I really want to strangle these idiots.

Apparently the apocalypse is bringing out all the half-assed plug diggers. You know, dirt scattered everywhere, the fully-removed plug just barely resting on the hole.... This pisses me off to no end. I saw them everywhere today. Stomped as many down as I could find, but what can you do? I would really like to run into these people. Hopefully the morons find nothing and end up shoving their machine in the closet.

Please do your best to educate new detectorists on the proper way to retrieve targets so there will not be a feont page picture of someone with an etrac wrapped around their head.

99% of the plugs I dig are as close to invisible as you can get. But that 1% pisses me off because that will be the one some busy-body finds and has to take pics of and post on the net.

I have been detecting quite awhile now, and this conversation has come up, many times. One thing I "did" notice, that after watching so many detecting vids, it is a very rare that you ever see them cover their holes back up, you see them dig them, but hardly ever see them cover them up ? I dig 95% in the woods, and still cover my holes, nobody can say I didn't, love this hobby !!!!

Y'all have given me a new paranoia! Not that I haven't just learned something, but now I'm going to be awake at 3:00 in the morning worrying that foxes, skunks and crows are reopening all my plugs
