Hi Gang,
I solved my problem in the water by using a scoop to quickly, before the tiny bit of metal flows through the holes, dump the target into a floating sifter that has many small holes, where I can locate it with a Vibra-Probe!! I rarely lose anything through the sifter holes.
This works nearly every time and I retrieve the tiniest bits of metal one can imagine!!! This method is only useful in fairly calm water because of the sifter and wave action.
On dry/wet sand I now use a home made scoop all stainless steel from 1/2 of soda pressure drum that is perfect in size for the purpose.
It has a 3' stainless pipe handle bolted to it and no holes for the target to escape from!!!
I dig the target and dump the scoop in a shallow layer on clean sand where I determined there is no signal. I check the dig for the target and if there is no signal I pin point the target in the thin layer of sand and use the Vibra-Probe to find it.
Before I cover the hole I check the area for possible missed targets.
I don't miss much this way and using the Infinium I am confident that anyone would be hard pressed to get a signal in an area I had just hunted.
This method takes hardly any more time than the usual scoop, shake and lose the tiny stuff method most of us are familiar with.
Works for me,
