Found Hidden Concrete Steps

[AusTexDude]

Founds some old steps that have sunk down into the dirt. They were obscured by weeds. I started detecting at the bottom of the steps and found 2 rings, a tungsten and a gold plated crushed ring with hardly any gold plating.

I'm finding a gazillion targets by the old steps, mostly beaver tails.

I know beavers chew on trees and make dams! But I was clueless to the fact they shed their tails and they were somehow detectable!
Im learning new stuff here each day! 🤓

They stopped making them in 1975. I'm mining them by the hundreds/week. When you find these old pull tabs you're in a great area.

Ohh, those dam things. The most annoying here are the old ones with the two notches, top middle and right. We used to break of the ring from the tail and see who could make the ring fly furthest by kind of setting the notch on the tail, pulling back and flinging it off the tail. I think everyone in those days did. Trouble being it doubled up the rubbish of them later down the track detecting and spread them all over the place.
Yep as a kid and teen I was guilty.
