A trowel, knife or small spade are good
tools for recovering targets.
Once a target has been located, clear the
surface of loose material and check again
for a signal. If there is no signal then the
target is amongst the surface material. In
this case, search the surface material until
the target is located. If the target is still in
the ground, check again with pinpoint.
The aim, when digging, is to leave the area
of ground exactly as you found it. Using a
sharp tool, cut a neat portion of grass or soil
and place it on a plastic sheet. This prevents
the material being scattered around and
allows the hole to be refilled.
