I want to talk a minute about how to cut a proper plug when digging a target that you found with your metal detector.
It is very important that you take a careful and respectful approach to recovering targets especially when metal detecting on manicured lawns, public parks, or anyplace that is visible to the general public. It is also very important that we leave it as we found it, or even better than we found it, by also taking any trash we come across while searching for treasures.
At the bottom of this post is a link to a video courtesy of Evan from www.gonehuntingforhistory.com showing exactly how to cut a plug and I strongly recommend that you watch this. You can also comment if you like.
Evan's website is also a great place to get other really helpful information and videos that you will probably find interesting.
I hope you enjoy the video and keep coming back for updates.
