My 1st Search Of My Front Yard

[Big1011Guy]

Well, today I decided to start searching my front yard and work on Improving my Pinpointing Ability. Someone suggested using a Hunting Knife to cut a 3 sided patch of grass and the fold it over when you find a target. After finally locating my 5" "Boker" Hunting Knife I decided to give it a try.
Wow , I am really amazed at how well this Idea works. After locating a target I would narrow it's location by pinpointing it and then cut 3 sides of the sod. I would then fold over the grassy part and start searching the dirt. This is so much better (for me) than using a gardening tool. I was able to locate (1) Penny (date unreadable), (4) Pull Tabs and My 1st Toy Car. To me this Toy Car is very exciting, because it had to belong to some little child that lived in this house before me. If it could talk I wonder what it would say. The Toy Car is a Chevy Corvette Manufactured in 1980.
I Am Finding Out That It Really Doesn't Take Much to Excite Me The Older I Get, :LOL!!!!!

[how u do n]

I always use a sharp hunting knife and cut a 3 sided plug it works great.
One trick when you make your 1st cut pull into the plug a tiny bit.
Then the next cut and the 3rd cut. I have found by doing this you will be able
to "open" the door and lay it back easy.
Then just close the door after you get the goodies!
I am able to cut a plug and not leave a trace.
I hope this helps.
