............................................................................................Use a small, strong garden trowel for digging down to targets,& attach a strong MAGNET to the digging blade with nylon straps.
This will "GRAB" onto any ferrous IRON targets,including NAILS & expose them quickly, so a minimum amount of time is wasted

Incase anyone missed my 1st "todays tip for any "Newbie"
Here it is again,you lucky people!
                                                        To search an area known for having a lot of nails and other ferrous trash, rake the area first, pulling out most (or all) of the nails/iron. Make a "magnetic rake" out of a 4-prong garden rake and cow magnets (available at any feed store). Attach the magnets with small hose clamps.
