Okay I've had just about enough of this snow crap. Can't wait to get back to relic hunting. Until then I think it's time I try a different beach.

Congrats on the nice haul, that's a lot of digging. I wonder what made up the rest of that silver cross shaped charm. I'm easy, that cross would make my hunt :icon_thumright:

I was thinking the same thing. It's very fragile now.
Take care, Mike

Took some cans in for recycling last week and thought the sign said .40 a lb for lead. I dont know if I read it wrong or not, seems like you could do pretty good if thats what it is where you live.

He may be right, I know they are taking Any type of lead batteries in my local spot. Even if you save them up til you have 200 lbs it would be extra money in your pocket. I save up any aluminum or copper i find by detecting or just sight found while i am out and pile it up. Hey anything you can cash in on in these times helps, and you help renew our sources for metals. Your lead sinkers could be the new solder in the next detector you buy!

That's approx 5 hours worth of scooping. Long handle scoop makes recoveries easier and faster. Plus hardly any bending. On the beaches I'm pretty much checking all non ferrous targets. On my third big coffee can of sinkers. Not my intention when I go to the beach, but I'm certainly not gonna leave it. Toxic to the enviroment for one and get enough lead and it's definitely worth it to cash it in.
