Minelab Etrac & Minelab Excal II
No goodies for me at the woods yesterday but my day did get better.

Went to a lakeshore park like Seated said and dug a hug cache of.................wait for it................PULL TABS! :o
18+(I stopped digging and there were more) in the SAME HOLE!!!! My guess is that some other detectorist decided
to bury all his pull tab finds in a 6-7" deep hole. If it was you, next time how about leaving a goodie or two in there
as well. :-\ Anyway, I also found a heart pennant(might be silver) and about $7.00 in change including two wheaties.
One notible clad dig: A trifecta of pennies! A wheat, a memorial, and a canadian in the same hole. How cool is that?
 

That cache of pulltabs was hilarious. The look on your face when you walked over to me to show me the haul was pricelss. :thumbsup:
 

Found one of thsoe early 70's vests made of pulltabs once myself. Darn hippies!

I was wondering where my vest wound up...

Look at the bright side - I'd rather get 18 in one hole than have to dig 18 seperate holes for them! A few more caches like that and you'll be due for a gold ring! ;D

Seven bucks in clad? Nice! :thumbsup:

Good call. I was reading a thread somewhere about the pulltab to gold ring ratio. It was something like 100 to 1? This certainly gave me a leg up!
 

I left a piece of paper with them saying " You just found all my pull tabs I dug today " It must have disintegrated . Darn I knew I should have put them in a plastic bag...... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just kidding Dan......

1000 to 1 is more like it......

I found a cache of bus tokens once 9 or 10
 

If you post a picture of the cache I will vote BANNER.
Funny story. You are right, they could have at least thrown in a clad coin with all those tabs.

I actually thought it was funny. Just busting Jon's balls. A cache of bus tokens would have been cool.

I wish I had. No camera with me. I think I might start bringing a small camera with me. There have been more than a few times I wish I had it.

Clad? I was thinking silver!
 

Yep, unless it's a frequently used field where the park lawncare guys no longer mulch canslaw into the turf the ratio is actually a little higher in my experience. Somewhere in the 2000+ canslaw, pulltab and screwcap to gold ratio. Especially if you dig those faint, deep signals that are actually miniscule near-surface tidbits of trash.
