Shoot a video and post a link if you try my method. Don't forget a 4"x 4" steel plate or similar for support otherwise it may not work. It's very satisfying pounding the snot out of the rusted-in BJ and see it plob off onto the dirt.

Don't forget to mark the steel plate location if you leave it buried for future use. I didn't mark mine and only know the general location. I do not have a metal detector and will probably use a drill with a long skinny rod to find it when I need to use it again.
