    Wow! And I thought parks were bad. lol There is no getting around the fact that digging trash is part of the hobby, but it is very well worth it when you also unmask and dig up the beautiful coins and old relics. thumbsup01

    That's a nice pile of brass George.There may be a keeper of some kind hidden inside as well.Looks like you done enough deep knee bends to keep yourself fit.

    I'm now scared, really frightened to start detecting cellar holes lol rofl

    No, seriously, I like finding even that kind of stuff (when it's old). I like old trash. rofl

    Yup... gotta take the bad with the good.
    If I had ta take a picture like that, I'd hafta hit Rent-a-Tool and get a forklift to get it all outa th' garage (which, BTW, is a few inches closer to Hell than when we first bought th' place). 8)

    That's OK. They can have my thousands of pounds of iron, lead, aluminum, etc. (well, they WILL get a nice white gold wedding ring, but by then, I won't be needin' it anyway).
    The good stuff's in a safe deposit box for our baby.

    K.
    So if I happen to puff up after the fact, jus' use a chisel.
    I'd rather lose a bloodless digit then let a detectorist get it anyway.
