They are "soda tops" but more specifically older ones that you could actually had to pull from the can before you drank out of it. They were dangerous because many people put them into the can after pulling them off and drinking the contents with it floating around in there

Today, the new ones along with the older ones are considered "pulltabs"

false gold tone signals is what they are

A soda can top would be the entire top of the can. A pull-tab is the "tab" that you pull to open the can. Unfortunately, many people enjoy tearing them off then throwing them on the ground.

Thanks wit? Do they give the indication of gold? or rings? or are they just EVERYWHERE? lol ..... I appreciate the help and im just curious.

 

[nsdq]

they ring in as nickle which is where most gold rings in for tones somtime they show as a coin but honestly dig everything

Dean,

Well here's the scoop from someone who's been there and done that....lol....

The vast majority of gold rings are going to fall into the pull tab range....so if you want the gold be ready to dig a sh*t load of them....comes with the territory...

But once in awhile it does pay off.
