I'm tired of these coin pics

What I want to see is the amount of trash you dug before finding them! Call me crazy, but what I'd like to see is your find atop the pile of crap that you dug to find it. Kinda like my bonfire beach post.
It would do my heart good to learn what other crap has been dug up, and deposited in the trash barrel.

I ask this because it struck home when the beach v'ballers thanked me for digging up so many nails. (Heck, I figured they knew the terrain)
This is not self-serving, I'm genuinely interestd.
Let's see some trash!

OK. Here's mine. Total take for the day's hunt. 3 cents (modern) if I remember right.

Daryl, you must be doing it wrong. I never get anything but the good stuff. Maybe you have too many negative vibes in your body when you hunt. (just kidding...I just woke up ).

Seriously, I get about a pouch full of trash each time I hunt. It not all light stuff either. If I relic hunt I can also expect to find 2 or 3 horse shoes. Then the big question is...toss them along the fence, hang them by the tree, carry them for a while or take them home. Obviously I've done them all . It hard to lug that heavy iron around all day in the 80 degree heat.

I just threw a box load of junk away last night. The two best things in it were one of those little cigarette lighters you use to get in bubble gum machines and a dial off an old washer that had a setting for overalls.

Don't we wish we could only get the good stuff.

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

I don't know about you guys but I feel TONS better having seen other people's total finds instead of just the good stuff......sometimes it is nice to just know we are not alone in the pile of nails and pulltabs! I guess we need posts like this occasionally to face the reality that we are all in the pile together! lol Have a great day everyone and may you find tons of treasure and tiny piles of trash!!

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

I agree. A picture is worth a thousand reassurances, especially to those new to the hobby.

Whatta you going to call it then if we can't use a "j" word. The "c" word?

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

My son uses the DFX and I use the Explorer II. WHEN WE GO COINSHOOTING - After a couple hours he always has at least a dozen or two trash items. I might have one or two. The Explorer is great at identifing deep aluminum and iron. Do I find any rings? Yes, but only the silver ones.

Now if I am at a site where I am digging everything except iron then I will have my share of pull tabs, foil, pencils, canslaw, etc. But I will still have few if any nails and rusty iron.

But, here is what I get when I go over to my mom's old farm house and use my "relic" machine set to accept even iron.

And one more. This is typical of our metroparks - if you are digging everything.

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

OK. Just as long as we don't jump from Junque to Crap.

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

Cry Havoc, Monty! Cry havoc! Or should that be "Cry Junque! and loose the hounds....."
Nick, please don't think I'm complaining. Far from it. Just interested to see pics of "the other side of the story".
Mirage, that is one impressive pile of j..c..umm finds! ya got there.

Re: I'm tired of these coin pics

Hey Lafitte, This is great! I mentioned once about having a junk forum, so that we could all see that all of us dig junk, and we would all feel better thinking we are not the only ones. We don't realize just how much we are helping the environment. We remove tons of manmade metals from the ground every year, including lots of lead.

This is great PR for our hobby! It can show that we are not just out for the money, but are providing a valuable service.

This was a foot in the door for me at a campground on a lake. When the owners got a look at all the nails and other sharp objects that I was pulling out of the swimming areas, I was always welcomed back. Before detecting, I would always eyeball the area, picking up any litter, and broken glass. I helped them, and they helped me.

Great looking junque people! And here is a tip; To make your junque look better in pics, try wetting it first, or spray it with a light coat of clear enamel. LOL......just kidding with the tip!

........................HH
