Wow! I love it, do you know what it went to?
 
Found one just like that a few weeks ago... I have no clue what It could go to
 
Only found one of these, it's got a spot in the cabinet.

Don't understand "What would they go to", do you mean specific brands? the first two shown are 1960s pulltabs.

That was exactly what I meant--I have never seen one before so thanks for clarifying :)

Do you want some more? I could really hook you up with hundreds, free of charge. LOL
 
Down here with no open container laws I find enough of them that I've actually filled a 5 gallon bucket and taken them in for recycling.
 
I have dug every shape and style of pulltab over the years. What amazes me is digging beer cans that were opened with a key instead of a tab.
 
Gotta love them. I can only imagine how easy gold would be to find if it was not for them.
 
Im a water hunter - got tons of those old style ones - for me they are a good sign
1-no one found it before me (unless they threw it back) so I could be in an unhit spot
2 - I find those - I usually find silver and older gold
 
This is my favorite, because it says something about what we do when we pick-up the trash that people carelessly discarded! In my short time metal detecting, I have picked up quite a few shredded aluminum cans and even razor blades in areas that small children play. I feel like we provide a public service by removing these dangerous items before someone gets hurt by them.

That's a cooool tab 462...and I agree with u on the public service aspect...found lots of dangerous junk which I always remove...nails..razor blades etc. Wouldn't want my kids getting cut!

I always find bullets, shell casings, and axe heads at schools. Only one nail ever at a school. But I agree its best to clean these up! I like 462's tab
 
Holy crap ! You mean we are supposed to keep that kind of early pull tab I been doing everything wrong ? I have thrown hundreds of those into my aluminum box and turning them in just for scrap ! How much are they getting for them on EBay ?:laughing7: At least i usually find a silver Rosie when you get into a patch of that type MaineRelic

Can't take em for free, that wouldn't be right.
I'll Give you $5 for every tab you got that is stamped 'Aluminum', like the one I posted :thumbsup:

Jason, there's a rusting pile of these at one of my sites, whoever was drinking them even opened his pulltab cans with a churchkey.
 
not sure if it counts as a pulltab but it gives a solid pulltab signal (not the silver one) :P xxxterrarisera.webp
