Really there could not have been another coin in the plug? Or the dirt thrown aside
Greg as for there being another coin in the plug, its possible but unlikely or else you would of heard it on the video, the deal with the explorers are your running on mutli frequency the whole time so if there where two targets there you would hear two beeps one nice high clear tone for the good coin (wheat,silver) and then a slight off tone for the clad or trash even if they where near on top of each other with only a few inches in depth between them.
Now as for pulling out a couple off handfuls of dirt first before checking the hole that's just Dan's way of not messing around to long, he knew the good target was deep so why mess around with the first few inches of dirt when you know you gotta get down 8" +.
BTW he does recheck the hole and dirt after the good signal has been recovered just in case theres a zinc or something he missed.
