Turn $ Profit$ from your trash items!

Have any others done like I have? I take all the trash i dig home with me. Once home I wash the dirt off to have a better look at the item. Sometimes what i thought was junk was a Goodie. If the items can be recyled, I seperate them brass in this. copper in that. I took mine in this fall, prices were high. Sometimes my signal I dig isn't a cent, but it still is pocket money. Besides leaving the area cleaner than before I got there, I do not end up digging the same item over. Might sound silly, but would you walk away from a quarter laying there. Also do not put brass shell cases (fired or unfired) in.

Turning trash to cash can also be bad. Had an area that old homes were being taken out to make room for beutification project. Someone came in w/ shovels digging up copper lines and I mean 6-10' long holes! Looked like a d**n warzone. Lost the area to detect for couple years. Worked w/landowners and finally got area back. Always finding lots and lots of goodies along w/trash. These homes dated back to the 10's and 20's. The key is to make it look better than when you got there. HH y'all.
