Hello everyone! I'm newly retired and my wife says I need a hobby because I make her crazy. after lurking around different websites I decided to give md'in a shot.I bought a ace350 and propointer and went to digging I'm pretty green yet so my finds have not been great but I'm learning.I did learn from my daugter that those metal tabs were beer tabs and not ancient eygptian symbols I could only hope.please be kind if I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack.

thanks from Kansas

Congrats on the retirement and welcome to the group. I'd bet you're a brighter bulb than me but I did put a couple hundred hours on the 350 when it first came out....let me know if can help you in any way. I see you are getting acquainted with pull tabs, bottle caps will also become your friend :grin:
Looking forward to you posts, Drew

Welcome from Washington state. I was in the same boat 6 month ago, with a new retirement. Del is right; one cool find and you'll be hooked.
