That is really neat. I did some detecting last year and I tell you, it's a good thing they have those new type pull tabs on cans today because there are a lot of those tabs laying all over this planet. They are everywhere >:(

Over the winter, I found a silver ring with a turqoise stone. I saw it in the hole and tried to pull it out. It would budge. It took me a minute to figure out that a root grew through the center of it much like yours. Sorry Mr. Root, but I cut you in half....

Seriously, why is it that there is soooooooo many pull tabs EVERYWHERE! One day there will be more pull tabs in the ground than actual grass. :icon_scratch: Good photos! :thumbsup:

Ray,

I did cover it up. figure it would be a good find for some one in the future, I know I did. It's still there about 4" in the dirt... about a foot and a half to one side was the old orange soda can that probably it was attached to.

Feel sorry for our future detectionist a 100 years from now. Then again... by then, we maybe able to disc gold from pulltabs. :icon_pirat:

Think about it. Someone opens a cold beverage and the tab comes off. What do you think most people did with them? Threw them on the ground. I occasionally put them inside the can back in the day. Never swallowed one. Whoever dreamed up the idea of the modern ones did a good job. Just think if they still used the old ones today.
