Then the weekend filled with work too! Now the last time out with the T2 I found it did as well...oh alright#$@% better than my Garrett GTI 2500.
I still have a few concerns about the Bottle Caps. What are you guys doing with them?

Pineapple help me out here buddy...
Any one else collecting bottle caps?

Last Spring I placed a 50lb sack of twrilly-Gigs I had racked up out of my yard, in a bag and placed them out front by the side walk.(SugerMaples) I put $3.00 on the bag and labeled them Twrilly Gigs as a joke that the neighbors could laugh about!

They sold to a guy who wanted to pull a joke on his neighbor who had no sugar maples in his yard.

I guess theres a market for everything...hehehe


How much would a 50 lb sack of Bottle Caps go for Ed?

hehehe

Man, that's a lot of caps. I know down here their selling scrap iron/steel at .15 a pound. Something to think about before throwing them out. There is always a positive to every negative.

I know places where I can just rake the beer bottle caps up. I also know places where alum tabs are in piles 4" high. No joke. And these are some of the places I like to hunt Maybe I should put the detector down and just collect the trash....Naw, these is susposed to be relaxing hobby

I hear ya! Yesterday and the day before after work I hit a couple of my routine clad sites and was amzed at how much new trash was there.:sad: I know I keep these places pretty clean whereas I can cherry pick for the most part. I usually visit these site once a month and in a months time I'll bet I picked up at least a pound of caps, tabs and other miscellaneous junk just laying on the ground.:sad: The Parks and Recreation Dept here ought to pay me for keeping these places clean.

I guess it's all part of the game, if you want to stay on top of it you sometimes have to go the extra mile to do so. I too love to detect the places that are real trashy only because I know others don't thus leaving some good stuff for me to pick up. Maybe I need to just start shooting around the junk instead of cleaning it out. But I do bring it all home and toss it in trash bags that I will eventually sell off.

Yep...it is amazing at the amount of metal trash the just gets dumped on the ground

The mowers clean up most of the caps for me at my worst areas. I was really suprised at how well they did the job. I try to hunt those spots right before they mow and then again right after.

The tabs I have to clean by hand or you can't hunt hunt those areas at all. I just scoop them up in both hands and dump in a walmart bag. Been tossing them, but noticed they collect them here at work for the Ronald McDonald house, so I may start bringing them in here.

Been looking at a bar magnet for roofing nails at Lowes. But I'd look pretty strange rolling one around the parks I only hunt these places for the clad and the rings. Nothing deep lives there but its fast and furious with the right machine at the right time
