Target in Pull-tab zone, but this is Ridiculous

[LawrencetheMDer]

We all get our share of pull-tabs when metal detecting, but this find takes the cake – Hunting a popular beach recently, I came upon a strong signal in the pull-tab range on my Manticore. A single scoop from my Stealth 920i Megascoop revealed a very rare and highly collectible (not by me) Pull-tab Necklace in original condition. The rare pull-tab necklace contains 17 complete pull-tabs, sources unknown. This important discovery sets a record for most pull-tabs in a single scoop, 17, and rivals the number of bottle caps in a single scoop by me of 18 caps. Ya never know.

Happy Hunting

History.
Like 70's or 80's.

If you like pull tabs, here are the numbers to look out for when using the Manticore based on 32 complete pull-tabs, air tested.

​	Manticore​	​
​	VID Decade​	Percent of Tabs​
​	1-9​	3.03​
​	10-19​	6.06​
​	20-29​	19.70​
​	30-39​	57.58​
​	40-49​	16.67​
​	50-59​	0.00​
​	60-69​	0.00​
Mean=​	32​	100.00%​

Thanks Lawrence,

Here is a graph of the relation between tabs and gold rings for the Manticore. Tabs really like the 30s and 40s. Gold bands like the 10s and 20s (but go as high as 80s if 22-24k). As for parts or broken ones, I've found tab parts (beaver tails, rings) from about 9 to 60s, they can turn up about anywhere except perhaps 80s and 90s (?) As for broken rings, I haven't tested broken gold bands, per se, others have reported broken rings as low as VID 1. I haven't found a whole ring below 6-7 on the Manticore, but I would believe it would have to weigh 0.50 - 0.75g or so.
