Coin Poppers?

[SwampHunter]

Today I hit a local sports complex. It is loaded with coins! I first started cutting plugs with the trowel, but this seemed too time consuming. I then started using the coin probe and using a small screwdriver and the process got faster. I really like this method, but want something besides a screwdriver for popping the coins out. I saw a real nice popper awhile back, but can't seem to locate it now. Might even find something I like better.
What does you use and can you post a picture of it?

I know what you mean, The screw driver is nice and fast but I think that coin popper would be better.

Yeah! Stick 'em in the oven at 350 degrees for ten minutes or until golden brown and dip 'em in some horseradish sauce.


Mmmmmmm.



Yeah!

SwampHunter I now use a rather unique method that can be much faster if'n you know how to pinpoint dead-on with your detector.

This works best for deeper coins and rings.

I cut a 3 inch wide U flap in the sod.

I peel the flap back carefully.

I go for the target with the coin popper shown in the picture below.

I place the dirt on a cloth--retrieve coin--funnel dirt back into hole--fold back the flap.

Don't buy one of these wider than about 2 1/2 inches because they don't pick up drier soil very well. If you drive the popper the full 9 inches deep it usually will pull up most of the dirt even if it is dry.

But this method works best in damper rich soils.

Once mastered it's super fast.

Cheers!
