Yup, been there done that. Now it automatically comes off before digging. ╦╦ÇYep, before the days of hand held pin pointers, we would scoop a handful of dirt and pass it over the coil. On more then one occasion, I had forgotten to remove my watch. lol
I used to own sap gloves.... and a flat sap (fit into a small pocked on my cycle uniform pants). All illegal now. ╦╦ÇWhen I first got into digging...it only took once to learn that my old sap gloves were not too compatible. LOL
Got this picture from Australian Gold Monster Gold Detectors Group. Good advice and a good laugh.
