~Field of a MILLION targets~

When I started this field I was getting non ferrous targets every 4-5 feet. I have unlimited permission and can back as much as I want, so I told myself I was going to dig EVERY SINGLE non ferrous item I came across. I was running TTF the whole time on my etrac so every high tone was dug. Majority of the targets in the junk picture came in at coin range, anywhere from indian to silver area....so I couldn't cherry pick, if I wanted the good stuff, I had to dig everything!

These finds are from 5 trips to the field, I am pretty satisfied I have got most targets out of there, but it is a corn field, so if they plant beans next year I will go back because you miss stuff where the corn stalks are! First here is all the non keepers, most will be going in my scrap brass and copper buckets.

3 whole crotal bells, #1, 2 and 4....I have never dug a #1 before, it is tiny! I actually dug a 4th bell and somehow lost it in the field! bummer!

You really deserve everything you get. Your tenacity is unbelievable good for you.
 
If I dug that many targets, I would not be able to get up or walk for several days. That must have been a lot of work, but fun work. The crotal bells are really cool. Great job.

not really, field was moist and in the field you can use a shovel. I never even get on my knees
 
Wow thats a lot of targets! You might be better off with a bobcat loader and a sifting screen!
 
congrats on all the loot! wow! you must have been a digging machine! Did you wear out your knee pads?!?

The trash pic is for any newbies who think we only dig treasure in every hole!

Hey wait a minute! My Etrac came with a no trash guarantee!! Not:rofl: Great finds! I'm still trying TTF in certain areas. Tough to get used to all the iron grunts in one of the old yards I'm trying it in. Dan
 
Just go get a Pulse Induction machine you are digging everything anyway,Impressive finds thanks for the pictures.By the way ,your wife may use these pictures to have you institutionalized.Still waiting for 50 degrees.
 
my kinda dig!!! totally awesome. thanks for including the junkers too, they are thier own special kind of treasure...
 
Well done Terry and yes it is often the case to dig that many targets, but that just shows why you are at the top of your game. Persistence always pays off eventually the good targets come. I dig bucket loads of scrap and average over $100 every month towards my running costs. Keep it up mate you are inspirational. I actually put this together about recycling if you have time for a look.
