Always dig around the target location with the pick, using the pointy end to prise up the centre part. That way nothing gets hurt and the piece remains collectable. Some friends and I once dinged a lovely 30 oz piece digging in the dark - That is why we learn to pinpoint with a coil, the exemption might be in rocks a pinpointer would be handy when using a hammer and chisel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geof: Rarely use a pinpointer either, Coil on edge works fine - but now avoid digging holes in the dark :) Damaged 30 oz piece: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
