i learned a lesson ...........

[oldranger]

I was watching Dig Wars ( much better then Diggers i think) and i noticed that
some of the stuff that came out of the ground really didnt look like much .........
However it turned out to be sweet finds ,.. that got me thimking about stuff
I looked at and put in my trash bag without a second thought .SO now if
its round square recatngular or even cose to any of the above it gets a
2nd look at home...never can tell what it is till its clean ............ thats
someting i should have known on day 2 of my !!!

Oh well im OLD thats my excuse!!!!

I dug everything when I first started and ending up throwing several 5 gallon cans of what I thought was junk in the dumpster. Lots of buckles that might have been horse harness buckles or maybe even shoe buckles. Live and learn. I didn't even think of recycling brass and other stuff I found, but have set up several buckets for this and cans and stuff I find.

I always give things a second look when I get home. Found an old appliance tag that way. Then the junk gets sorted into it's respective scrap bucket.

I've been seriously detecting for a yr. and 8 months. I've filled a 32 gal. trash can with my junk items. I can't lift it. My valuable finds or keepers I could fill a qt. jar. I've become more discriminating now and will pass on a lot of trash,which could be a valuable relic. I may donate my trash can to a local archaeological dept. or just try and separate it and sell it for junk.
