[QUOTE="Keith, post: 104526, member: 2327"] I use a Military surplus Entrenching Tool. It cost $50 from a Disposal Store but is far stronger than the cheapies. When I dig a plug I cut 3 sides & flap the plug over, when finished in the hole I fold the flap back & tramp it down, a few kicks around the edges & the plug is invisible. Before I dig in the same Park again I check to make sure my old plugs have re-grown well & if they haven't I go elsewhere. I prefer to dig when the ground is damp which occurs fairly regularly where I live (on the coast) so I do not make myself unwelcome but even when the ground is fairly dry my method works fairly well. The reason I started using the Entrenching Tool is that I have severe Arthritis (especially in my hands) & this method allows me to still enjoy Detecting. I do also use the screwdriver method if the target is fairly shallow. [/QUOTE]
