Got out for a short hunt yesterday at a local park. Lots of clad, foil and pull tabs, as usual.
I've been putting all the pull tabs I find in a jar and emptying the jar when I find gold, just as a reminder to myself of how many of them I can expect to dig up in between gold finds.
This is the longest dry spell I've had yet since I started doing that. Never had the jar even half full before.

Time to empty the jar and start over.

Hopefully I won't have to dig that many again.
Oh, and the ring rang up at 27 on the Legend.
Anybody out there swinging a Legend will immediately recognize that VDI as a common one for pull tabs.

I feel your pain. I have half a two and half gallon bucket full of iron nails I have mined from a recent tear-out in order to tease out the occasional old coin laying beneath. Keep it up! You will be rewarded.

Looks like your ratio is about right for parks and schools. I find it's a lot less at a swimming beach.
 

A very nice Ring ! :icon_thumright:

What ever you do, don't throw those Pull Tabs out !
Lance from the Danebury Metal Detecting Club says people buy them on eBay.
I forget... was that Simon or Garfunkel?

I can't (well, yes I can after hanging around here long enough... 🙄) believe he saved them all.
Missus told me before she got me the detector that There will be no packratting or saving junk.
(Yeah... define "junk"; the woman collects old rusty railroad iron... 😲) 😁
