[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 188653, member: 487"] My technique for getting deeper stuff still involves using a screwdriver but i push it down straight in and lever the grass apart without cutting any runners or roots, anything deeper than say 15-20cm I usually leave, I work the screwdriver in a circular motion to open up the hole to get my hand in. Once the target is recovered I then push the soil back in and then push the screwdriver into the ground about an inch from the side of the hole and lever it back to centre, I do this at 3 different points around the hole and that makes a small mound with the grass on top and still attached, I then tread it down level again. You can see dirt when finished but when a small amount of rain comes you can't see where the hole ever was, I have checked and re-checked the places I detect and you just can't notice where I've been after a week or so. The grass is never cut and not really damaged. I've shown the council bloke I talk to my technique and he has no problem with it at all. I've removed 1000's targets from one place and you just can't notice where I have removed the targets from. It's not a good method for very dry ground but no methods are really as AngerManagement mentioned. [/QUOTE]
