Sharp and Pointy Things, etc.

What do you do when you take your girlfriend to her Mom's for a few hours? Of course you take your detector and dig any reasonable target even though you've already hunted the small yard 5 times or so. My favorite is the putty knife with some wood remaining on the handle, same on both sides. The tag at the lower right is from a Tiki torch that was recalled because of a fire hazard. I hit the mason jar lid with my digger breaking the porcelain insert into even more pieces... I did get a 1937 wheat and my first razor blade! Please never dig with your hands!

Congrats on the Finds.

Thats Why A Carry A Complete (Coal Miners) First Aid Kit.

I dug up a razor blade in a park just last week! Broken glass is probably the #1 hazard. Ever put your knee down on la goat head thorn? Wow!@ I always carry a small garden pad or knee pads because of that. One time is enough to make a believer of you! Monty

Great finds!! Never got cut from digging glass up, but dont ever try hitting a glass bottle with a metal pipe :P

I think you overlooked one of your older finds today!
The thing on the top to the left of the car is the guts from an old pocket watch

It might be Jake, but I was thinking small clock or a thermostat. I doubt we will ever know... Above the putty knife is a bottle cap chewed by a dog I think, forgot to mention that before.

I didn't get cut today doing MD, but could have easily if I was careless. Remember Safety Sam!!! I do have a cut on my arm from replacing my furnace though, and my last tetanus was in 1993......

I've been lucky, I've only dug up razor blade boxes. 1 full and 1 empty. Leather or kevlar reinforced gloves people. They may be more expensive than a first aid kit but well worth it in the end.

That's quite a bit of digging! Nice assortment of goodies!

And good advice, too... ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE DIGGING YOUR TARGET!!!

Congrats!
