Hi Dugger ,
Good to see your great coins your finding.
Tcornel has some good advice about avoiding scratching. When you dig your initial plug a old coin is tipicly another 2 to 3 inches down, just out of reach from your typical pointer. So digging deeper results in scratched coin if it's not in the center of the plug.
I tried the pistilprob and that helped a lot but the TRX I bought a year latter works much better than the pistilprob.
Knowing what direction to dig after your initial plug will avoid many scratched coin s.
