Hell On Wheels!

[tabman]

I went back to area that I detected on my last outing to see if could find some more treasure. Just a few hundred feet from where I parked at on my last hunt I saw this poor car without any wheels. I always try to stay within sight of my SUV. They're bad about breaking into cars and robbing people at gun point.

After arriving at the site, I spoke with one of the maintenance workers for a good 15 to 20 minutes about muscle cars of the 60's and 70's before I started detecting. Nice guy, he put me on to some other sites that I might want to check out.

Before the day was over I managed to find one wheat penny, a Mercury dime, a 925 silver ring and some clad coins. The Mercury dime came from across the street in a grassy strip in front of a mid-thirties home. So far I haven't been able to find any silver coins at the apartment site. It's time for me to find another site to detect for my next outing.​

Well done on the silver Tabman,,
Reminds me of growing up in The South Bronx.
A screwdriver and a pair of channel locks and some people could strip your car in 5 minutes.

First nice dig's Tab-Man.

Reminds me of some 'Hood's I hunt on Sunday Mornings'.

Love the thieves use of the Log , guess Cinder Blocks are 'Tool's to commit a crime' , so they ride with firewood
Or make use of what in the environment

Many 'Sweet ' Luxury Cars have been stolen off the Lot's in the past Few months around the ATL. .

Congrats on the Merc, but the silver ring wins the day. What an unusual style! Are those onyx stones? Sub

That's a great example of detecting in the rough parts of Town.

>must have had custom wheels, who would steal stock rims?

Someone with a drug problem, looking for a quick fix. Even scoring a ten or twenty bucks for used tires is important to an addict, unfortunately.

Be careful detecting over there!

Yep, they will steal from you or kill you for little of nothing. Then there are the gang members that just want to prove how bad they are.

that's ridiculous. I hate thieves. I think when caught they should be beaten to the very edge of death and after they recover, do it again as a reminder
