Well..I finally got my X- 8" coil and and SunRay probe. Hooked it all up and decided to go to my local high school I graduated from ('85). I have been using the Garrett propointer and will continue to use it with my other machines however I decided get the SunRay just for my Explorer cause so many of you guys are using it. I used to have one on one of my CZ's so I'm familiar with it. As soon as I started hunting I had noticed where someone had just recently been detecting. I scanned over their plug and I'm getting a hi tone its looking very similar to a quarter, I'm thinking how could they miss this? I open the plug and theres a smashed beer can in there...oh great I'm thinking, another loser detectorist that doesnt have the sense to carry away his junk.
So I see another one of his plugs, this one had a wine bottle cap in it. I dont understand people, dont they realize they are just going to have to dig that stuff up again? Well..anyway I didnt find a whole lot because I ended up getting rained out. I dont understand what the deal is where I live, there is so many loser detectorist around here. I have a park right down the street from me and it seems this year I have seen more people dectecting there than ever. One guy was in there last week with his Ace 250 and a long handle shovel with a small spade on the end of it and he wasnt even making a plug, he would just stick the spade in diagnol and pop it up. I was over there with my kids a couple days later and there were his dead grass plugs all over.
Oh well..sorry to complain. I'm hoping to get out with my huntin partner tomorrow to a more fruitful area and away from "loser central".
HH! Aaron

...but just move on bro cause' there ARE some losers out there BUT there are also some super cool people who feel the same way as you and I do.
I'm assuming when he put the plug back in the ground, he didn't put the plug back so that it was even/flush with the top of the original turf. He must have been an out-of-town'er because I never saw him detect any other parks, and have not seen any of his plugging device shortcomings anywhere else, thank God! I hope wherever he hunts again, he realizes what he's doing and corrects this!
