Reached a dubious milestone.....

After my last couple of hunts, I realized that my total count for keys found had passed the 2500 mark, now totaling 2506. Now, I need to decide what to do with them!

That's one heck of a lot of keys. Don't know what to do with them, though.

Wow! Do you exclusively detect the parking lots of nightclubs?!

 

[DigToChina]

Make the worlds largest key ring...

Btw, I’m assuming you created the ring of skeleton keys from individual finds?

 

[Blak bart]

They make good wind chimes....its not as easy as it looks to make them though !!

 

[digger dug]

Most have been found at the beach and curb strips, but, you can find them just about anywhere. For me, it was about 50 a year on average.....that's only 4-5 a month or 1 every 2-3 hunts. It doesn't sound like so many when you break it down like that.

A lot of the keys got grouped onto a chain or ring. Most lately haven't been classified, just tossed into a can. The skeleton keys were all individually found. Some of the others were found together on a ring.
