Some people dig for gold and others dig for coins and relics. Jacksquat is more of a coin hunter. I on the other hand go for gold on occasion and do dig foil signals. I've never mistaken any foil for silver. I've dug deep nails, that kind of sound good, but not foil.
You assume these are ordinary balls of foil and ring up as such but the way they were rolled and squished makes them ring as silver coins. I guess you just have to run into them to understand. But my point is, we dig enough trash without adding more for other detectorists to find and when you choose to plant trash don't be surprised when someone else plants a bunch of trash in your favorite spot for you to find.
I see there are a lot of uptight ppl who think they are awesome at detecting. i like the comment that says putting tags in the ground is leaving trash and thats wrong but says he would leave foil for me all over and completly ruin the place. Thats not trash? Yep I have come to the conclusion in metal detecting there are alot of uptight A holes. Just glad i dont walk around all day with a stiffy thinking Im the best. Maybe thats because i dont have an inferority complex.
I actually wouldn't do that because I'm not the type of A hole to try to ruin a spot like someone arrogant enough to try to discourage other people from hunting there by leaving these tags, but it makes me want to. It seems to me the real reason for these tags is to discourage other detectorists from your territory not as a friendly calling card. I'm not uptight I just think these tags are a very BAD ideaI see there are a lot of uptight ppl who think they are awesome at detecting. i like the comment that says putting tags in the ground is leaving trash and thats wrong but says he would leave foil for me all over and completly ruin the place.

Ah now, why cant they be funny. It was never meant to make anyone mad. I know it would brighten my day after did 8000 pulltabs. I think a couple of tags in a park or old school is alright. I think it would be cool to find one like from 1940 or something like that and think in 2110 people might find them and it might blow them away.I'm willing to bet when it's squished into a solid little ball your machine will read it as silver too. Well maybe not on an Etrac but I bet it dont read as foil. As far as Jack Squat not digging foil, Its attitudes like that that got me that nice big gold ring. I see I'm in the minority here but I don't see the humor in it and dont want to waste what preciouse little detecting time I have digging up everybody elses "calling cards" it's just trash to me and has no business being planted there.
i love those tags, but there is some debate.
