Maybe it's being housebound and boredom due to a cold rainy day, but Drew's "what should I have found already" thread made me think of this.
I remember when I first got a detector I would spend hours on youtube studying techniques, finds and equipment. It doesn't take long to notice that some finds seem to show up on every detectorist's videos sooner or later. One example is the common harmonica reed. I remember feeling a sense of "achievement" when I found the one below earlier this year. It was almost like I had unlocked or advanced to the next level as I dropped it in my pouch.
You never really see much written about them though. Any theories on why they seem to be everywhere? Maybe they aren't? Do you find them up north like we do in The South? Are there any 'special" ones that stand out in the harmonica realm?
