There I was, sweat pouring down my face, headphones slipping around as I knelt down with the pin pointer. It sounded off with excitement as I found where the hidden object lay, anticipation was building, in my heart it was just another pull tab but who knows! So my digger digs in a little ways and flips the dirt on over and...and...and to my astonishment, I see the shine.. is it? NAH, just another pull tab! Having dug a bunch of tabs and pull rings, I was surprised to dig 2 nickles as they had read like some of the pull rings. I know that this is normal everyday stuff for the average MD, but it still gets old as you wade through them. I get excited when I get the signals in the eighties, hoping for silver or at least real pennies,dimes or quarters but most of the time it is just another can or a piece of one. I don't understand why, but it seems really hard to even find a plain ole wheatie around here much less a merc or something like that. I know that they gotta be somewhere and I just have to keep swinging and digging those signals. I just wanted to say that I for one, really appreciate the posts, especially with the pics with further proof that somebody is actually finding the good stuff and not just those pesky pull tabs and rings. I spent 4 hours out there, dug tabs, pull rings, batteries, foil, brass screws, wire, cans, some clad, screw on bottle caps and a few bottle caps, lead, bits and pieces of aluminum. So thanks for those posts, they keep some of us swinging in spite of the heat!
