I'm starting to get scarce with targets in certain areas yet I have not even begun to scratch the surface.

Not sure how many pull tabs are in my bin but it has to be over 5,000

Wow, why are so many sinkers ending up in the lake?
 

That might drive me mad. You are dedicated to that area. Something is below all of that junk. Keep digging.
 

That lead is worth something and it is good to get it out of the environment.
 

And gold rings ?
4 Gold rings, 13 silver rings, 1 copper ring, 1 tungsten ring, 2 class rings, 3 nice non precious metal rings, 6 junker rings, nice heavy silver Pandora bracelet with 4 charms, several earrings, dozens of bullets and shell casings, hundreds of brass screws, half a dozen locks, probably about 30 keys, and well over 5,000 pull tabs. When I got the snake ring 2 days ago that made ring number 30 from this park

That lead is worth between 50 to 70 cents PER OZ on Ebay in the form of fishing sinkers which I make. If I go conservative and say 50 cents I already have almost $300 worth in a short time.

but being realistic,there is probably millions of tons of lead sitting at the bottom of our lakes and streams that we will never get out.
