Was able to get out for an hour Sunday, and dug four coins for the time out. Not much...but did get out.

Pictures preferred here, cannot do videos here.

Hope this does not sound like a harsh criticize its not meant to be, trying to be helpful here ! Maybe your grass out there is more resilient than ours but just from the opening picture frame =( Which is all I will see here.

Looks like your going to have dead grass there (while plugging don't think you should detach the plug, breaking / cutting roots on all four sides out here typically gives high rates of dead grass), hope that is not a public area, less digging (screwdriver retrievals) equals less work also, this is a great thing when most targets are shallow, don't know how deep things are in your spot usually(yeah a good plug might be less work when targets are six inches deep or more typically). Screwdriver retrievals are definitely the preferred method now out here, in public areas !! I find that very often on my machine low conductivity items are often more shallow (even when displays says they are 4 inch +) than medium to high conductive items. Maybe you don't dig many foil level signals but I do =)

I like pic's better also.

I just watched the video ( most cause it's short , but also to verify the first post).

It seems to me his soil is VERY moist & cuts like butter ,also the Merc & wheat dug look to be at about 6+ - inches.

He did not cut his plugs on all four sides, just looks like it in the picture.

He is also hunting some type of trail into the woods & he also states it looks like someone else had been digging the area before him ' Someone Who does not pin-point well'

Imo I will give him an A in his plug digging.
&
He got a nice Dime as well.

I love that type of soil ,' as I said " Cut like Butter"

Glad to see the OP Got Out.
