[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 431862, member: 487"] A good pinpointer and screwdriver is they way to start out your park hunting adventures, just go for stuff near the surface until you get some rain to soften the ground up a bit and practice plugs in areas that are not so important until you are confident you won't leave nasty looking spots. Once the target is pinpointed you tap the screwdriver on the target and you can usually hear then whether it's a coin or aluminium too, that's what I mostly do anyway. Never cut full plugs either, slit method is good but for deep targets, do 2 sides of a triangle and lever the plug up so the third side stays attached, that way the grass will likely not die back, only do it in dampish soil too. :Y: [/QUOTE]
