Not A tough crowd!!!! Just depends On when you post!!!! First welcome to treasure net!!



It really depends On where you are Digging!!!! In a Field I say go for the Circle!!! But If you are digging In a Yard with Grass or a park I suggest a u shape or similar Leave part of the circle connected to allow the root system to stay attached !!! It allow the grass to stay Healthy and Alive always try to make the are look the same as it did before you started digging!!! Practice In your own Yard!! Its amazing what different types of cuts do !!! HH Chug

Ya we are just havin fun.... heck I am as new as they come to this hobby, I just have some .59 cent detector and trying to get scratch together for a Garrett AT Pro so I can get a little more serious about it. After 30 years of scratching around with that big digger, I look forward to things being a little slower pace and having time to dig were I what to. You all are a great bunch, I look forward to a long relationship in this hobby and on this forum.

For some reason when I read, "you nust have one helluva pin pointer" I think of that cell phone commercial were the guy is hooking all the towers and lighting rods up to his phone with cables and the lighting hits them and sends a bolt thru the phone. That would be your power for you pinpointer in that case, takes me back to chiller theater on Friday nights and Frankenstien
