A first for me

[doowhat]

Is it wrong that I said "oh cool my first old school pull tab"

 

[Old Dude]

No more wrong than the people that buy morning glory seeds! If they knew how much time I spent chopping morning glory out of the family garden or tobacco patches as a kid, they'd never spend another dollar on such nonsense!

First of many many many many... (one thousand manys later) many many. You will get used to them trust me.

Welcome! Coinman123,

I also found a Louisiana sales tax token from the 30's (according to Google) but I can't seem to get it clean so no point in taking a picture of it

Hello Doowhat,

Welcome to the forum! That is a very nice pull tab. The more of these you are finding, your chances for a nice gold find increases!

Happy Hunting and Good Luck in 2015

Regards,

That is a very good find, I have yet to find a sales tax token. Most people on here are fine with photos of artifacts, clean or not, you will never find a find that is decently old that looks perfectly clean unless it is gold or silver, those metals do not do much, if any, corroding.

Coinman123,

Coinman123,

I'll keep that in mind, thank you for letting me know

Welcome to Tnet......I see you joined today, and this is your first post......so I guess it is "fitting" that your 1st find, on your 1st day, with your 1st post would be the #1 most dug item, the elusive (not) PULL TAB.......Sweet, you are right on schedule....lol.

Good Luck.....and please post your future finds......Thanks for the great picture.

Happy Hunting
Bill

on the bright side, it is made of aluminum

 

[cjon455]

I still think the idiot that invented those wretched things should get a high five...........in the face...........with a chair!

 

[deershed]

I just dug one of those the other day and after a closer look it said 10k. Lol. My first...

I've heard the musky is a fish of a thousand cast, not sure how many pull tabs equal gold.

 

[swingbot]

WOW! haven't seen one of those on a long time.

 

[JackalopeZL1]

Make sure you dig every last one of them.. You don't want to miss the Gold that sounds just like it!

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Ahh the famous Beaver tail tab the first of many.

 

[hikerdude]

Yes

 

[sutphin]

Dang that's a beautiful platinum ring you got there ,man that thing has got to be worth some big cash never seen one like that I bet you jumped for joy finding it for I found quite a few of the platinum rings and the reason I celebrated was pessed because that's all I found that day .Any way better luck next time.vanzuthpen

Morning Glory Seeds must have a whole nother meaning in the US....lol

PS. If you get to watch the British hit 'Detectorist', it will surely make you laugh on this subject.

They are like "rusty nails", you dig one up and ten more grow in its place. Welcome to the forum.
