I would not use such a method as any good coins could become scratched up using those.

well i thought of that......what about putting rubber tips on them so it doesnt scratch? i think somewhere i saw you can buy liquid rubber? and dip it in and let dry....on u tube?? i cant remmber...i just thought it would be easier and non contraversal for retrieving coins and such...for "sentative places" such as ppl lawns and elegant manicured parks...at least with this method they CANT TELL if you dug or not..cause you havent killed any roots...and your in a win/ win situation with more permissions;];];] was just hoping to help since you all were / are soo patient with me on learning;];];];]

I've tried several types of these for when a coin is a few inches deep and I can feel it with a screwdriver but can't use a digger. (Park rules here). They work fairly well for a few tries but then the hinges get jammed up with dirt and won't close anymore.

Long needle nosed pliers do the job too and are a bit easier to bang the dirt out of.

Mostly I only use them in situations where I can't get my fingers down deep enough.

A bit late getting back to you, but coating them may work. To me it may be hit or miss on finding the target's exact position to grab it.
