One Tough Weekend

Baldingboy · Aug 27, 2007

Went camping this weekend and hit the beach and area around my campsite. Man, what a tough weekend. Found lots of junk. Believe it or not, I found these scissors laying in the water off the beach. The dog stake was in my campground area.

Check out this old pulltab! Man, you don't find many of these. $:-\$ Mmmm...Boy I am desperate with this post hugh?

Happy Hunting all...

Yep, your right, sure looks like it was a hard weekend on you, finds wise anyway but camping at the beach, that's the way to do it! I think you found yourself a Pull Tab that you can put in you Relic Display Box. Everyone will be asking you " What's That?"
HH and glad you had a good time.

I can probably put a spin on that pulltab story and sell it to Mastereagle22 for big bucks!

Hey man. At least you are out there diggin'!!
That is the joy of the hunt.....even if the prize
is a cool old pull tab and a pair of scissors. LOL

Bummer digging BB, I have never had much luck at camping sites either, except boy scout areas. Seems like camper travel light or something?? Better luck on your next outing.

Smiles!

No I think I have all the pulltabs I need right now let me check, . . . . . . . . . . yep all full up on my quota for them. Now let's talk zipper pulls.

lost at sea,
Yeah, if you gotta find tabs...at least it's old/unique.

BDoo,
Yeah, we camp there a lot. I hate NOT to detect, but it really is lousy.

tymcmurray,
Yeah, I think being out there is lots of fun. If I find stuff everyonce in awhile, it keeps me interested enough to go.

Yeah, I think that a lot. When I hunt tot lots at least you feel like you are keeping some kids from maybe getting hurt.

Mirage · Aug 27, 2007

You know those scissors sell for at least two bucks. Definitely the best find.

Baldingboy,

Ok, been thinking about this for a few days now, and I think I have come up with my strategy for the CTH. I'm going to sneak in there the night before and plant some zipper pulls. So while you and Mastereagle are fighting over the zipper pulls, I'll find the gold coin.

Sounds rational to me. Yep!

BTW, was Mastereagle with you when you found all of this? If so, I bet he planted that pulltab in order to throw you off the scent of the zipper pull that was 8" in front of the pull tab.....LOL

No I wasn't invited on this little hunt. I had to watch the kiddos and my 2 y/o only likes detecting for about 2 minutes and then he's off doing something else. Thought about tying him to the tree with one of those kid harness things once or twice.

BTW the idea you had, while a good one won't work. When I am at the CTH I will not be searching for any Zipper Pulls, but don't worry with the Explorer I have to go so slow swinging it, you will be able to cover the entire area twice by the time I have dug my first signal.

You found a jig!!! It's a lucky sign.... maybe you will do better on you next search and recovery.

Yeah, the rivet that holds the blades together isn't tight enough to allow them to cut. I guess someone just chucked them. If it weren't for bad luck I'd have not luck at all that trip.
Thanks for the post Mirage.

Mel,
Since Mastereagle tells me you sometimes drink scotch....I am going to hide some 20 yr old Glenlevit behind a rock for you to find. While your drinking and Mastereagle is hunting zipper pulls, I will find the goods.

ME22 was not with me on this excursion. I do think, however he hides things to throw me off the zipper pulls. I wonder if he saw the one on the forum that looks like a baseball bat. I found one on a tot lot the other night that was shaped like heart. He wouldn't even look at it. He turned green with envy and told me I sucked. I wasn't even rubbing it in! ::)

I had never thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion. You have indeed renewed my spirit. My wife will thank you for that, since she can't ever get me to go detecting. ::)

mastereagle22 · Aug 27, 2007

Actually I was trying to think of a way to abscond with your Heart shaped zipper pull you found but it was 11:50 at night and my brain wasn't working none to good.

Hey BB I will go in half for the Scotch, that way we can keep Mel occupied.

CR is what he likes if I remember correctly.
