Well, it's happened several times this year. A great signal in the 80's, dig it up and out comes a used E-Cigarette. Just when most bottle caps are plastic, beaver tale pop tabs are rare, out comes a new enemy.....These show up on land AND in the water. I guess a good flavored E-Cigarette doesn't need a lighter nor will a rogue wave put out the non-existent fire.....

Found 2 of the new ones in Feb at the beach. The ones with a separate battery and tank. Which worked out because my better half needed new batteries and they were still good. Yea, they both rang up real nice tones.

Wow, heating a potentially toxic chemical solution into a vapor, and inhaling deeply...

I've seen some really cool videos where they just blow up, yeah, explode. Really cool.

Just another form of trash, but they will NEVER replace my valuable vintage 60's collection of pull tabs.

I am thinking of making about 15 suits of chain mail armor out of my pull tabs...

Then calling over 14 other detectorists to try them on and battle with scoops and lesche diggers.
