What was your best find that you thought was going to be a pull tab?

[nc-joe]

Too often I hear people ignore the 'Pull Tab' sound or ID #. So what has been your best find that you dug, thinking the whole way is was going to be "just another pull tab"? (post a picture if you can to show others what they may have passed up!)

To this point, I would say my best would be a tie between a gold earing and a mini ball.

A silver ring a gold ring and a 1935 buffalo nickle. they were all ready pull tabs and a screw cap about a 1inch or 2 down I was not going to dig thinking it was a pulltab, but someting about the sharpness of the signal made me dig,and I'm glad I did..

MY 1st wheat penny that I found was 6 inches reading a pull tab. My club was at a hunt sight and the president told me if I get a pull tab at 6 inches to dig it because it would be a wheat penny

here's mine. It wasn't quite a pull tab, but at the end of a long day on Padre Island, I got a solid 58 on the XLT. Figured it was a zinc cent or a bottle cap, but at 1.5 inches I decided to dig it. Turned out to be a men's 14k gold ring.

I don't have the pic anymore, but I guess that doesn't matter since it is nowhere near as fantastic as the finds listed so far. For me I guess it was 3. All three were silver rings, nothing fancy and no stones, but the silver rings were still a good surprise for me.

And they showed as a pull tab?

 

[Postalrevnant]

Yes they did show as a pull tab. But I see where I might have created a bit of confusion, so sorry about that.

You see all the rings were completely seperate finds in seperate places, not all in one place. They were all very thin band silver rings. As I said nothing special, but silver anything here is a great find.

Machine was BH pioneer 505 for one, and the other 2 were found with Fisher CZ-6A.

Hope that answered the question Finderzzs.

Without a doubt it was this gold ring.
I had bodly stated to my hunting buddy that the signal was a pull tab, I'll never forget it.

i found this 14 kt 8 diamond ring at the beach in monterey a few weeks ago. came up as a pull tab.most of my signals are pull tabs but i try to dig most of them . i do get discouraged from time to time and if i dont dig em . i always say what if damn oh well. lol sorry pic is blurry

 

[piggman1]

I forgot about this, this was my best, the ring was second best. It's a few pennyweights under an ounce, 22+k gold.

Both of my first two ring finds came up as pull-tabs. The first was a 10k diamond engagement ring, in a section of the beach littered with tabs. Because it was white gold and was band up, it even LOOKED like a pull tab ring until you got close to it. This was on a beach that hadn't even opened for the season yet, so I know it had lain there since the last summer. But there were so many pull tabs, I'm sure all of the other MD'ers just assumed this was another one and didn't dig it.

Second ring was a week later, at another beach that was littered with foil and pull tabs, I dug a beautiful, large yellow gold men's 10k ring with seven diamonds. That thick gold band gleaming in the sand was about the prettiest thing I've ever seen. It came up likely tab, and it sounded just like a tab but I dug everything. Sure glad I had.

Unfortunately for myself everything that rang out as a pull tab has always turned out to be a pull tab,and alot of my 5 cent range ironically are cans.Yet I continue to dig every signal it's still exciting that i may find a great keeper.

 

[mastereagle22]

A nice little 10K dolphin charm.

 

[SMS88]

This sterling necklace that i found in a club hunt to a boy scout camp. One end gave off a very broken pulltab signal.

 

[rockyredbaron]

Well here's mine...very proud of this one !!! Sounded like a dozen pull tabs all at one time when it rang out.

 

[Zincoln Miner]

a 14 kt man's wedding band in a park's swingset woodchips.I am more open minded and
optimistic than this but was positive it was a pulltab.how about smashed soda cans,that
was what was on my mind for this italian gold necklace and pendant.

A PULL TAB

 

[Nana40]

I like this one..... THING....TreasureHuntING

My first Indian rang up as a pulltab...was my first and my worst!

This button was at pulltab range....

And this ring was well below pulltab range.....

Lots of good keepers ring up in that range and below....

DIG IT ALL!
