My first pull tab and foil

[Orient-250]

Stones,

The whole ground is made up from little and small rocks, making it hard to dig and nearly broke my ($1) garden tool.

I did however dig three holes,

The first one kept saying 8 inches to go, even after diggin for 20 minutes in the rock ground, I gave up.

Stones,




Second hole



And a winner - foil



Third hole,



Winner !!!!

Good practice-I'll get better! You may want to invest in that SunRay in-line pinpointer for your 250.

welcome to tnet, its not like the tv shows! keep at it, it'll pay off

Welcome to T Net, probably ought to save that pull tab. Contrary to the TV shows, there's enough people finding pop tabs that some day they will become rare and valuable ----------- someday? --------------- maybe? Oh well, that's the first of many. I dig 'em because they ring up in that elusive range of gold, and then I pack them off to deny the next guy the chance of finding one.

Welcome to t-net! With your excellent pics & description, it's gonna be fun reading for the rest of us when you dig your first great find! Hopefully soon you'll choose an additional site to dig which has softer dirt or sand, and save the rocky spot with hard dirt for the rainy season when at least the dirt will be easier to dig, lol. I have a list of "places to return to during the rainy season!" as some of the dirt around here is like concrete when dry. If you're low-budget as I am, buy a steel garden digger as they will not break or pull loose from their handles -- about $5 compared to the wobbly $1 one you've got. If high-budget, lots of folks here recommend the lesche (sp?) digger. HAVE FUN!
