All I ever find is old beer pull tabs and nowadays empty vaping cannisters................
I’ve scoured every plowed field around here looking for Indian artifacts like spear points. As you undoubtedly know, they’re made from stone.
Over the years, I’ve been asked several times if I use a detector.
I politely respond that I use the Mark I Eyeball.
This find was close to my home, lots of excitement locally.
I found a lighter on the beach one time.
If I ever find gold coins, I’ll also tell everyone that all I found was bottle tops and pull tabs. Just like you! ;-D
Most places have been metal detected multiple times up here in New England. Mostly likely the only thing you will find is some old musket ball.
At my previous house I had an in ground vinyl liner pool. I hired a scuba diver once to patch multiple holes in the liner. He told me how he would go down to the Caribbean every April. At the end of the winter season. He would scuba dive and metal detect in 3-6’ of water off the beaches at the most expensive resorts. He claimed he would pay for his trip many times just finding gold chains and rings that came off of rich tourists.
The key was having the underwater metal detector. He said all the beaches would get detected by all the locals. Especially after high high tides.
However, going 20-30 feet out in the water just off the beach is where all the good stuff collected. He even showed me a Rolex Mariner he found one time.
