Totally agree with this. Tried cutting a chain with a cheap chisel once and a chunk flew right past my face. Scary stuff when you're just trying to save a few bucks.

That "jet engine" sound was exactly what I thought was normal until I repasted my old PS4 last month. Did you notice any difference in how fast games load now?

Saw your post and had to jump in because nobody's talking about the real game changer here. Reaching 100 coins from one spot should totally shift your strategy from just gridding to actually mapping the site. I'd start plotting every single coin find on a simple map, even just a drawing in a notebook. You'll start noticing patterns like where the really worn ones are versus the crisp ones, and that tells you where people were walking most. Also track the emperors if you can, even if it's just a rough date range for each coin. A buddy of mine did this with a similar site and figured out exactly where a small Roman settlement was just from the density and wear patterns. You've got a goldmine of data sitting in your finds box already.

Bet you felt like a wizard pulling that off while the Snap-On just sat there blinking.

The first time I saw a guy tie off to a hammerhead in Norfolk harbor I almost had a heart attack. He used a clove hitch with two half hitches and a separate safety line clipped to his D-ring. He didn't move an inch through a full six hour ebb tide. I had to eat my words real quick after that. Now for shallow work under 30 feet I do it myself with a good backup and a quick release knot. But I still won't trust it in heavy surge or around moving boats.
