Just be truthful and it won't come back to bite you in the ass.

Of course you could mess up a coin but I have braised brass onto the tip. Lots of coins you'll find are not worth crap an the time saved is worth it. You need to finess the probe into the ground to barely touch the coin and pop it out. Many guys stab a scarch awl in the ground. Many times if the coin is to deep for me to touch it, I'd rather leave it than dig a plug in a park or nice lawn. Lawn mowers can suck pout the grass plug and then it looks like some Th'er didn't fill they're holes and another park is then closed.Even though a lot of things are Obamas doing, this one is all me. I will let you know what I find out. Sandman, I can only hope that someday I can be as "advanced" as you. I've never used a screw driver and I've never dug in a park. Sorry to disappoint...lol. also, don't you take a chance of messing up your find?
...Other than that I no nothing....

I called today and the lady was very nice. I explained myself and she laughed it off and told me to send it in and I'll have it back in 10 days. She told me they get a lot sent back. Next time I'll listen to my wife...haha. at least I didn't cut my boat in half or total my truck....lmao. sandman your screwdriver trick sounds logical and makes sense in a park but my inexperience tells me to do what I know best. I've honestly never seen it done. I'll have to see if any videos on youtube show this tactic. Thanks again all for the good advice and good stories, I'll let ya know the final outcome.
Hey use your detector to find the spring! LOL!
So I got my pro pointer back today. Brand new unit.....woohoo! Glad to have it back although I've gotten pretty good at locating things without it. Garrett and their people are top notch!!! Big thanks to them for standing behind their products.
