At least it is an old pull tab...and there's more where that came from. Aren't we all glad they changed the design.

Soon it will be a ring

Wow God bless you for posting your first hunt. I sure wish I could be there and guide you on the second hunt. You have begun a journey..... It looks like a hobby now, but, if you stick around? You may find it is your family who respond to you.You will meet the best people on earth...... May God truly bless you, Brother Al.

Your on the right track. I was always told you have to dig a thousand pull tabs before your first gold ring!

Good luck keep digging!

Welcome to the forum. You have a killer machine, practice with it in your own yard with coins and jewelry and learn what the signals sound and look like. Hit some parks and tot lots and enjoy the harvest! Sub 8-)

Congrats on your firsts!

Hey finding the foil and pull tabs is not a bad thing, it means the detector is working and you maybe pulling up gold next, cause gold reads in that range. My detector reads the pull tabs as rings.
