Quantity not quality

Went out with my detector and found a spot right off a dirt trail in the woods by my house and found over 200 nails. I dug for at least an hour and there's at least 200 more waiting to be picked. My best and largest loot so far.

Well, looks like you nailed it!

(sorry couldn't resist!)

Keep at it, maybe after all the nails the coins will start.

HH!

Oh yeah, and maybe next time, try a magnet to get rid of the loose ones on top.

well..at least no one will step on them now.

Why did you keep digging after, say the first 50??

 

[mrmexico25]

Bryan, mainly on the off chance that there were some hammers or other tools. I really didn't have to dig much, after the first inch, I was literally just pulling nails out of the dirt for like an hour haha.

Let me know when it's all clear. Should be good hunting after 400 nails are removed.

there could be some good stuff around sound to me like you hit a bagful of nails that was left behind or a crate that rotted in wyandotte where i used to live the city buried supplies in the early 1900's till about 1950 or so when they started paving the alleys

You did a great deed for our environment. We all do. HH
