trash

  1. Saving the lives of Loons

    Went to a local freshwater beach/boat launch/hangout on this dreary day up here in Maine. Never detected it before, it just kind of popped into my head this afternoon. I figured there wouldn't be as many people there when the sun wasn't shining. I was right, just a couple fisherman. This place...
  2. May be a trash ring but it is my favorite

    Found detecting shallow water between some rocks.
  3. Went out for a hunt where two old houses were recently torn down.

    Just like the title said, I went out with my cousin to do some detecting at this house site by the tracks. We spent a couple of hours looking but with a combination of hard ground and there being so much metal, cans, and foils in the ground that my deus sounded like it was playing some...
  4. Is this stuff worth anything, I got some Puddings,and some fossils and lots of treasu

    I am new to this so bare with me .. haha plus trying to do this with a shitty mobile phone, no stylus ,fat fingers and little ass buttons . But anyway just a couple finds from a newfound dump the other day. Not sure if there worth anything or not . The last pic is my storage unit filled with...
  5. Nox 800 settings for Civil War relic hunting in an area with modern trash

    I am hunting civil war areas in metro Atlanta and from north Atlanta up to Chattanooga, TN along the I-75 route. Economic growth in Georgia since the Civil War has caused a lot of good Civil War hunting sites to be come polluted with other metal trash since 1864. I suspect this is true of PA...
  6. It's discoveries like this that really hurt my heart.

    Here are the highlights.... and lowlights (is that a word? It should be) of my most recent trip.. I post videos rather than photos because I'm a video producer and that's my forte. For those uninterested or too busy for the video: I went metal detecting at an area on Padre Island called Newport...
  7. ✅ SOLVED Non-Magnetic Foilish Thing?

    I am relatively new to metal detecting. What is this thing? Is is somewhat flexible at the end, and non-magnetic.
  8. Ft. Lauderdale beach today..Holy crap, bottle cap!

    Hit the beach this morning just north of Las Olas in Ft. Lauderdale. Either this beach hasn't been MD'd for years, or our fellow MD'ers aren't picking up tabs and bottle caps!!! Naughty, Naughty:dontknow: Found about a thousand old and new bottle caps and enough pull tabs to fund Ronald McDonald...
  9. I found a bonehead...

    sigh....there is a bonehead metal detectionist where I live...this is what I found on my second visit to a Huntsville park. This is a nice well maintained park in a neighborhood with million dollar homes. This hole is 9 inches across and 7 inches deep. oh, the bonehead also left his trash just...

    Dumpster diving haul prt. 1:
  11. A couple colonial finds from the most trashed woods I have every been in.

    I went to a new location to metal detect at, but the second I got there it realized that going there might have been a mistake. On the maps this place had looked so good, and it was right in the middle of a colonial town. As I walked down the trail I could already see junk on the surface. There...
  12. Pop tabs-Ever wonder what to do with them?

    Hello all, Just so everyone knows, here is an awesome thing to do with your pop tabs from soda cans that you find while metal detecting... I am going to start collecting mine from my hunts in a zip lock and donate them when I have a bag or two... Pop Tab Collection Program - Ronald McDonald...
  13. Trash Pile - Bottles & Tin Gallore - How to proceed

    Found this today in the woods of my child's school (private school, lot of property just woods, yes I have permission) The question is - is there any reason to sort out this pile of tetanus and razor glass danger? I found some intact bottles, but it is so much broken glass I fear it would take...
  14. Trash is my treasure - Pesky horse-killing nails

    I bought a used Radio Shack Discovery 3000 (see BH Sharpshooter II) on eBay a couple years ago for the purpose of locating iron nails in horse paddocks and arenas. Most horse stables/properties are located on old agricultural land loaded with trash in the ground. Nails are the worst, and can...
