Iron Brigade award - Has anyone ever seen one?

[ModernMiner]

Just curious to see if anyone has ever seen or received one of these "Iron Brigade Jr. Member" awards that I heard Buckleboy gives out when someone reaches a certain amount of dug iron in the field.
I've heard they are somewhat rare. Don't be fooled, that is REAL 24k GOLD there folks, not gold spray paint.

Buckles,
I love ya Man!!!

-MM-
P.S. Yes, I like to recycle my rusty iron too.

I would think you could grandfather in to the Iron brigade as a MASTER MEMBER based on the junk you have dug. I know Dman and I could. HH!!

Nice award. Wish I could get one of those.

By the way, that plow tip came from old McDonald's farm, the house shoe from Abe Lincoln's horse, and the wood from George Washington's cherry tree. I told you it was RARE!!!

Thanks VOL.
I'm sure up in your neck of the woods fields you & Dman would easily qualify.

Keep digging, you'll get there. I heard if you can dig up a whole car you get a lifetime achievement award.

LMAO! Doug, you're a riot.


Yes, once you dig and recycle your first 1,000 lbs of iron you get the silver one--and the Gold Award comes after you reach a Ton of iron (or, for our UK counterparts--this is a "short ton" of 2000 lbs.).


Seriously, though--the Iron I've recycled has paid for my gasoline on many a trip.


Keep up the good work, everyone.




Regards,



Buckles

I'm glad you enjoyed it BB.
I think you you guys in the IB every time I dig a lot of iron.
How much do they pay for iron?

About 8 bucks for 200 lbs. But it's no big deal to haul it out with us and recycle it. The recycle place is on the way home.

Thanks for that info. I have a recycle place about 10 minutes from me and as you know, 200lbs can be reached fairly quickly.
Have a great weekend,

Agreed Doug. But all those little Brass items add up quick too!

Brass is where it's at! I have seen members chuck a two pound brass bathtub faucet that they'd just dug--and go to the park later to work for two hours for two bucks in change.


Treasure is where you find it. I save up brass--and when I get to 50 pounds or so, I CA$H IN.


Copper is always worth saving too. Heck, I even wash up the cans and pulltabs to take in.

Iron targets can be rather cool relics. Congrats on your Iron awards
