I love it when I find something good. I love researching the stuff, cleaning it, looking at it. I’m sure that many of my non-detectorist friends think the stuff is cool, but they don’t get it. What they mostly don’t get, is how incredible it is that we can go into a field, or a playground, or an old homestead and come out with treasure that’s been buried underground for year, sometimes decades and even centuries. They also don’t understand how much nasty worthless junk we find.
While bottle tops, pull tabs, and aluminum cans are the most frustrating to me, there is so much foil and nails and barbed wired. On farms, I find lead medicine tubes. The ones that are like toothpaste tubes. Yesterday, all I found was trash. A broken shovel, pieces of barbed wire fence posts, a huge iron or steel bullet looking thing that must have been for breaking through rocks (must have weighed ten pounds).
Maybe I’m just ranting. What trash do you run into most?
