I figured you were using some sort of a probe. How do you raise the target if you didn't mistake a rock for it?
It must take some finesse. I don't think I got it in me.

Hi, I never thought I would be able to pop out a coin with a probe either. While I'm still not an expert doing it.....Now with all the practice I've been doing I can now pop coins out at least 5 times out of 10. If I can do it you can too. :wink:

I am gonna have to try this probe also, I have seen it and it is the best way to get a coin out.
 

Everything I dug was with a probe for many years in upstate NY...

I made my own using my father's method - always made of brass.

Now, it comes up in the plug because of the rocky soil here in Montana where I dig. :)

Welcome Priscilla,

I just ask or send a letter if it is not local. I tell them I like to find and discovery stuff. If they have a lost family heirloom I would like to try and find it for them. I have pictures of places (homes) I have been allowed to hunt with before and after of my dig area. I always use a towel to put the dirt on if it someone's home. I do my very best to make it look like it did. If you new at digging and hunting I recommend you pratice some in a field, etc. Before long you will get better at it and can make a small intrusion and once covered it looks undisturbed.

Have fun as it is the most important part and enjoy

Thanks. I am going saturday to ask this land owner for permission about hunting this old school that he has on his property. Ill let you no what happens . Priscilla
