Looks like you had fun. I see you might be feeling the need for a good pin pointer. They are not a necessity, I hunted the 1st 6 months without one, but won't go without one any more. They really speed up target retrieval which in turn allows you to dig more finds on every adventure.

Sorry, have to totally disagree. What speeds up target recovery, is getting it in the first grab. This can only come from not using a pinpointer. I never get on my knee's & only get annoyed when it takes me more than 30 seconds to grab the tiny piece of lead I'm chasing. I also never pass my hand over the coil, as I have rings on both hands.

Every pair of pants I own have no knees, it's a little rest period for me, no hurry. Didn't own a pinpointer ever then bought one 10yrs ago, haven't looked back since.

As you know 95% of the time I'm on ploughed land.
I'll explain a little more about how to get the recovery time down;
As you learn what you detector is saying, your know the rough size of the object & how deep it is. This means you can learn to only dig out the optimum amount of soil. ie. as little as possible. Then you spread this with the foot & do a quick pass over. With practice this will tell you where it is in the flat pile, ie. top or bottom. This influences the grab that you hope to get first time.

However, the rest angle you mention is not needed in my world as I'm hyper...lol

Now that we have side tracked enough.

I hunted for the first 20yrs I think without one, I won't hunt without one now, LOVE those things. Should get a tattoo of one. OK, perhaps not, but you get my point.
