Had a chance to get out and hunt but the only problem was it was raining (11/3/11) but the treasure hunting bug bit so out the door I went. I have been wanting to knock the dust off of my Ace 250 for sometime now since its been a few years since its seen any woods action and 20min into the hunt I found a merc. Was fun but man I forgot why I upgraded to a Minelab - the false targets were everywhere. LOL :tongue3: Wandering thru the woods I also found a huge concrete foundation, have to go back and do a serious hunt to see what goodies its hiding!!! :icon_pirat:

Anybody have any idea what the FPD tag is from, I think maybe its an old tree tag but don't know how it would attach to the tree unless it had a strap or something but then the tag would sit sideways.

I also came across a geo-cache hidden in an old tree trunk so I signed it "found this while metal detecting"

Sweet video!! I haven't used my Ace in months!! Might be time to dust it off...though I prefer to stick to tot lots with it (less falsing and fewer deep targets, plus more jewelry!!). Congrats on the merc!! :icon_thumright:

Geez Dude, can't keep the goodies away for long, eh?!?

Hey, I think that tag went on the picnic tables. I've found a few old table remains with similar tags on them in a few woods that were former picnic groves.

Cool I never would of thought of that, I found another FPD tag 2 years ago also from the 50's but from what I remember it was a square tag.
