I like to walk backwards pushing the grass and weeds down with my feet. I also carry a scythe with me so that I can cut down higher weeds and grass (with landowner permission of course)

I also would say that the Fisher F-75 and F-70 are great tall grass detectors as they can be swung higher above the ground and still register coins and relics fairly deep.

A friend of mine has a brush hog and offers the land owner a brush hogging of his property for free if he is allowed to detect on their land.

Sheet of plywood works, just have to be good at pinpointing.

stasys,

Tall heavy grass is one of the situations where I use a small (enclosed) coil. you can kind of poke the smaller coils down into the grass and detect as opposed to the normal sweeping of a coil. Joe

Read this in a book I think and it worked. I REALLY wanted to hunt this area with that tall itchy grass (about 2ft high) so I took a flattened cardboard box and just pushed down the grass with it. Swung over the box some, moved the box and swung more. When I found a target I pinpointed it, moved the box and dug. Didn't find anything great but I made an awesome crop circle!!

i use the push swing in tall grass and it works well
(place coil on ground and push the grass down repeat on each side then swing left to right )

Yep, verrrrrrrrrrry simple 3 step process.

Step 1--Get the permission of the property owner.

Step 2--Mow the grass.

Step 3--Metal detect.
