Well this is going to upset some beach hunters out there. I know a guy who lives down at the Jersey shore and he told me that he was tired of seeing all these guys sweeping their detectors in front of his house. He told me the had a couple hundred ball barrings and a jug of bb's. He tossed them all about the beach.

Some people dig for gold and others dig for coins and relics. Jacksquat is more of a coin hunter. I on the other hand go for gold on occasion and do dig foil signals. I've never mistaken any foil for silver. I've dug deep nails, that kind of sound good, but not foil.

Tejas Digger...

For the record, I've dug SEVERAL pieces of foil that ring like Silver with both my Garrett and my Explorer SE. It's called ALUMINUM FOIL, which rings very high on your machine, unlike what is known as TINFOIL...which rings much lower. Just some food for thought. This Aluminum Foil is much more prevalent at older sites that I've searched.

As for this topic, I think its kind of funny and neat at the same time what Jack Squat does. Never seen his videos, but kind of interesting.

Also, as far as leaving "TRASH" behind, its all in the eyes of the beholder I guess. I wouldn't see that as trash personally. At least its made of copper. In all honesty though...I'm sure Mr. Jack Squat digs FAR FAR FAR more trash than he leaves behind.

Just my 2 cents.

There is no such thing as "tin" foil. It's all aluminum. Has been for a VERY long time, since WW2.

For the record the aluminum foil that's up in my pantry right now will not ring up high on my detector. Mr. Cranky mentioned the kind of foil that rolls up into a ball. That type will not read silver on my machine.

Yeah, and on the Garretts the screen shows the foil on the far left which is about as low of a tone as you can get.

Yeah I cant believe it is still going either. But today I planted a couple more tags. And yes I did remove a lot of trash.
 

I would have def got a kick out of it if it happened to me or one of my buddys!!!
Jack should have put a return address on it so it could be returned to him when it was found..lol
 

Say jack make the tag redeem the silver you took from the hole before leaving your tag in it. You take a picture of your great find, have a memory and make a friend as well.

I was thinking of something along the same line. Maybe not the exact item, if you find a tag you win a Merc dime or something like that. Only problem is that it would take a couple tags to get enough info.
 

I tell you what, I never would have thought that hillbilly would cause such a stir. Jacksquat is my hunting partner and like to think he is now a good friend of mine. He is a jokester and likes to have fun,and that what the tags are supposed to be, (FUN!!). We plant some around just to bring a smile on other detectorist faces. It better than finding foil/bottlecaps/pulltabs/iron...etc, isnt it.

Thought I'd do my part to help this thread hit 100 replies. I've liked the idea of the tags since I first saw them on JackSquat's videos, and I'd love to find one. I can understand why some people wouldn't, but don't understand why those folks would allow themselves to get so worked up about it. Anger and frustration do a whole lot more damage to the person feeling them than the one's they are directed to, so give yourselvesf a break and let it go. At least console yourself with the fact that, more likely than not, Jack will end up digging one of his own tags some day (which will no doubt trigger some time-warp, end-of-the-world, parallel universe event that will wipe out mankind).

Jack: Keep the vids coming, they're great. And let me know if you want me to send you some grown-up dip. That minty stuff you chew is just breath-freshener.:thumbsup:

Yeah I guess I could make some kind of contest tag put a special code on it that sombody would have to read to me. But the only prob is the guys I hunt with would be hunting like heck to find it. Well I guess If I didnt tell them. It would have to be a bigger tag like a forestry tag. But sombody might get mad at me by putting more tags in the ground. lol We wouldnt want to offend anybody would we? lol:laughing7:
