I agree. If they weren't there... it would make detecting less frustrating for sure.It is not the pull tabs I hate it's the stupid idiot that throws them down.

When you relic hunt, the shotgun shell is my biggest enemy, besides my ex-wife that is.
Old steel beer cans here! They ring up as Silver!
If it weren't for pull tabs and bottle caps sometimes I would wonder if my detector is working. It would be a long time between signals sometimes.
I think of pulltabs as little friends! They are a form of a trail marker that can put a person on a valuable drop zone! Especially the old beavertails, they certainly let a guy gain some knowledge about an area and determine what to focus on...
One little Example: A grouping of beavertails out in a BB park Centerfield....Somebody was out here drinking a beer back in the 60's, probably married and wearing a real GOLD wedding ring! (Drink time is Drop time!) And, NOBODY else has been here hunting for gold yet! Any zinc signals at the same depth? (Big Class Ring) Am I set up correctly and thinking Gold tones?
Pulltabs tell us stuff like this...so does their absence at a 60's era park...tells you some gold hunter was active here so a guy may as well go bang clad on the sidelines..
The inland Waterbabies get positively weeweed up when they hit them beavertails wading! Drinking in the 60's! Nobody has hunted here for Gold yet! Yippee!
Tabs are little trail markers to put us on the pay! Think of them like this and it isnt so awful! What else you gonna do? Go around pist off all the time at an innocent discarded little scrap of aluminum?
...after having gone to the trouble of breaking them off the can.It is not the pull tabs I hate it's the stupid idiot that throws them down.
I used to hunt around a tennis court alongside sports fields. Lots of clad. I dug so many solid hits of sound and VDI 40 on the 705 , with 3khz digger coil, on pull off tennis ball can lids! Clad dimes run exactly the same. Worse is months before I dug the same exact signal and it was a nice silver ornate cross. So,,,, I would dig many many pull off tennis ball can lids. Hate them boogers!I actually run into more of more of the pull tab can lids than I do pulltabs. Not the whole can itself but the lid They always give me a solid hit on my ATP. I'm not sure where the other part of the can is either
