[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 310876, member: 8767"] Absolutely correct Silver. I made these for - A land owner that wants to search his 1910 Urban land himself - has a PI Chinese detector, no tools, 4 acres A mate that does beaches and his land too, he is considerate of public lands. My Father in-law for his garden as they are great for putting in potted flowers to a flower bed, and getting out the weeds too. We need to use these tools very carefully, many people will panic because they look aggressive to use. I never use one without trying other means to recover a target first, and never in a manicured area, always think about what impression it gives to see a 'Detectorist' with a sharp spade in a park digging hole after hole. Learn recovery technique first, as it is rare to need one of these, in scrub it is a go to tool, like a pick in hard soils, [b]BUT[/b] in lawned public parks I get away with popping the soil and a pin pointer pretty much full time. Park tools are usually - a hand digger, and a pin pointer. My 12yr old and I both dont actually need to dig holes or plugs generally, and it is then invisible to other park users when pressed down, bonus is the grass stays alive and we look good to the average punter watching us. We have to 'play smart' or lose the hobby. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/8767/1487567235_digger.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
