Digging pulltabs

dirtscratcher · Mar 23, 2015

Sometimes you hit gold. Haven't kept track but at least 150 tabs to find this ring. I've decided to dig more gold or least try.

Sweet gold band, congrats. Yes, we trade pounds of aluminum for grams of gold! (Not to mention the labor involved...) Sub 8-)

Look at it like this, pull tabs are dues you have to pay to finally get the gold. ;-)

Yup this is why I only hunt the super early colonial sites....no pull tabs......but also no gold....yet 8-)

Different areas have different exchange rates. Around here it is about 1000 to 1. Chalk it up to exercise to ease the pain. :laughing7:

Holy smokes!! If you are at a 150 to 1 average you are one of the luckiest Folks I know!!

It took me a year of digging pull tab hits before I finally found gold.

WTG!
From a guy that has dug a lot of gold - dig your pull tabs
Ive has followed a lot of guys that cranked their discrim. to pass them up
and find gold behind them all the time
it will be worth it -I did an article called
"TRASH - The importance of picking it up"
will PM you a link to it

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRASH!

Good work on the ring, congrats!

Small gold and low K rating seems to move those targets further into the pull tab range. Want gold? dig the pull tab signals.

That's from a particular park that is fairly clean so I've been digging everything that repeats. Another that I've been hitting for years I believe you would have to dig hundreds and hundreds to find any gold. I don't think digging everything is practical everywhere.
