Pranked??

Went to an old school in Columbia IN today and the first target I dug was this copper piece of metal that had been rolled into a circle. At first I was ticked then I laughed. I'm torn between it being funny and it being disrespectful. What are your thoughts?

To funny ! Hey atleast he let you know the place was already hit !

 

[TommNJ]

I can see being annoyed but like Ifoundit69 mentioned you know now it's been hit recently and you'll have to think out of the box to score some keepers or he did good there and is trying to discourage new hunters, good luck either way!

[Terry Soloman]

I would be laughing.. then I would think, "ahh krap!" Too funny!

 

[CRUSADER]

Very Funny. I hope they are watching....

I think the Cru'team need a 'Zorro' type mark like that, it might be the only metal left on the site

 

[Marshallepp]

lol I like it .

 

[CASPER-2]

he post here - he has a youtube vid about making those and planting them i think

 

[natepen]

JackSquat's bee leaving these tags for a couple years now. Not to be a jerk but as a calling card. Check out his YouTube channel.

I found a round one from an unknown young person that an epic find was made in an old horse show park I overdid for 30 years previously. I chucked it and it disappeared. Same place I started in '71. I was part of show in '62. Mom worked there free and walked on half dollars on purpose.

I personally would be a bit P.Oed about that and be tempted to do what someone did to my favorite park.
My favorite park was hit by someone who left a bunch of open holes with pull tabs in the bottom, of course he missed a nice gold ring in the process, but after that I suddenly started finding lots and lots of little wads of tinfoil all over the park. Not just on top but planted anywhere between the surface and six inches. I've detected this park a lot and know this much foil wasn't here before and the dang things ring up just like silver.
If I found one of these tags, first I would hit that spot so hard there wouldn't be an office staple left and then I would plant about 2 rolls worth of foil balls all over the place to make it forever unhuntable to Mr Squat.
I've seen one of Jack Squats videos before and personally don't find the practice of leaving trash for others to find amusing.

Hey somebody found one of my tags Awesome! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TejasDigger]

Dang Crankyolman, you're crankyolmachine reads foil as silver? Time for an upgrade bro! Leaving foil in the ground won't do any harm to Mr. Squat. He don't dig those signals!

 

[curbdiggercarl57]

I think it's a great idea.
I thought about stamping Zincs with "C.J. was here", or something to that effect.
I mean, what's the problem?
Do you think he's dug everything good at that site?
Is it better than a lousy pull-tab?
At the very least, it's a piece of scrap copper.
And who knows, one day it could be collectible!
Humor is where you find it!

[TejasDigger]

He only leaves one or two per site. It's pretty harmless.

 

[Jack Squat Digger]

Careful with the zincins ppl might view that has trash lol.
