Using a metal probe is a very bad idea in modern times. Although safe enough back in the first half of the 20th century, there's enough mines around now triggered by magnetic fields to make the practice somewhat hazardous to one's health.
The "recommended" (ie required by SOP) method is to use a non-ferrous probe - a wooden stake is ideal, although plastic, even aluminium is a damn fine choice.
