First month's worth of great finds!

After only a month of enjoying this great hobby, I can say that I will metal detect for life! Finds so far include: four early plows, two horse shoes, one knife, three paper shotgun shell head stamps (Two pre-1934!), one small medicine bottle, one aluminum(?) earring, 1940s Bond copper flashlight, almost one dollar clad and who can forget the chicken head! Thanks for all the great information and happy hunting!

Long live Metal Detecting!

Good job! Keep digging those pull tabs....you'll get a gold ring for your trouble eventually. I see you also found a blade for a wood plane. Any silver coins or old cents in that batch?

Had no idea that was for a wood plane. No wheats or silver yet but I know they're coming. I did find an 80s video game arcade token. Nothing special but interesting nonetheless.

Thanks for support in my quest to collect as many can tabs as I can. Normally I know they're what I'm "looking at" for lack of a better term, because I'm working on recognizing the tone, but I just have to dig them. I can't pass up a semi-solid tone. Do gold objects circular in shape tend to have a very similar tone to pull tabs? Is this because of metal density or overall shape?

The conductivity of gold is similar to pull tabs and other types of junk targets. their circular shape does help make them repeatable targets and they tend to have a stable ID where as pull tabs break up a bit due to their irregular shape.
Nice digs Have not seen a beaver tail bracelet in a long while now.

You got just about a little of everything!
Hang in there the gold rings will come along!
My detector can't pass up a round pull tab either! It get's all excited and yells at me "RING!!!" Most times it's not, but once in a while it is!

Great finds! You've found two lucky horse shoes, that alone should double your luck in finding that gold ring, keep swinging that coil.

That chicken head is a University of South Carolina Gamecock. Where are you?

Union SC I know I have a gamecock keychain, but I'm talking about the metal chicken head to the right of the horse shoes.
