Cutting a clean plug is one of the most important skills in metal detecting — especially when you’re coin shooting in parks, yards, or any grassy area where you want to leave the ground looking untouched. In this quick demo, Zeke (aka Glenn) shows exactly how he cuts a flap plug that protects the roots, keeps the grass healthy, and makes target recovery fast and clean.
Using nothing more than a solid garden trowel and a little technique, he outlines a small “C‑shaped” cut, lifts the flap, and exposes the target without tearing up the lawn. This method keeps the roots connected, helps the grass recover, and ensures that anyone walking by would never know a detectorist was there.
Whether you’re working a permission, hunting a public park, or just practicing in your own yard, mastering this simple plug‑cutting technique is essential for responsible detecting — and it keeps you welcome wherever you hunt.
