Pull tabs, Insanity, and You

[Pistol_Pete]

My wife and I spent the day at the park and the lake with our detectors in hand. Our first stop was to a swimming beach at the local lake. For 2 hours Aimee and I pulled nothing but pull tabs and bottle caps out of the sand. We soon grew tired of this madness and headed for the local park expecting less trash. Were we ever wrong, in two hours we pulled two pennies and 50 pull tabs and bottle caps. I am always reading that beginners should dig every signal, because you might miss jewelry. My question is how do you stay sane and keep those impatient types (my wife) interested in digging up party artifacts?

Its tannic acid from decaying vegetation. Both Sweden and Finland share this. They have bedrock foundations, but are very low lying overall, so water doesnt percolate. When I went to Finland some years ago, thay said, jokingly, that "Suomi" (the native name for 'Finland') meant swamp. The only difference between lower latitude swamps is that its too cold up there for snakes and mosquitos!
