[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 260597, member: 487"] Check out this link too mate. You have to be very careful digging in sensitive areas, this should help give you an idea regarding techniques. [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11178[/url] Simple fact is that some council workers, rangers and groundsmen will be ok if you are very careful and some will not be. Generally you'll get a warning asking you to move on, I have heard of this happening. I cut 2 sides of a triangle and leave the third side attached, this ensures the grass does not die, then once the target is removed I put the dirt back in, fold the grass back down and you would hardly even know that the ground had been disturbed. A quality pinpointer is essential. The groundsmen where I detect are ok with me as I do not make a mess of the grass. Though in essence it is illegal to dig into sportsfields and parks and they can fine you if they deem you to be causing damage. Detecting for surface targets is no problem at all. [/QUOTE]
