Been there, done that... How about the ones with Chuck E Cheese or Pacman? It's like they're literally laughing at you!

I know the feeling. I once reached into my hole and felt what I thought was going to finally be a belt plate but, it turned out to be an oval cow tag.

I’m still waiting for my first large cent. seen at least 2 dug by friends but the worst was that bigazz space jam coin. I thought for sure it was a silver dollar. I’ve never been so disappointed to see Michael Jordan in all my life.

Money is just a token, with perceived value added. :goldbar:

Hey I had probably my worst hunt of my career yesterday. Literally nothing but junk. That would have made my day.

To me, every signal is a surprise. I never feel let down about anything (trash excluded) that I have taken the time to dig. It's all an adventure, and I'm just a big kid !

After a handful of nails, a token becomes more desirable!

Ain't that the truth....

I dug up about 15 nails, and then finally the 'cigarillos' box that they had obviously been originally kept in, just beside... but the box, even though i knew it was the source of my despairing hour of nails, was a welcome sight.. So i vented my angst towards it..:BangHead:
