Hunted A Northern County Park Today......

And dug more pull-tabs than I've ever dug in my life. I can't help but wonder if The person or persons, who designed the 'figure 8 pull tab', ever contemplated what they've done to (not for) society? My back and right arm began to say hello after a couple hours, so we headed on home. None the less, it was a beautiful day out-of-doors and I'm grateful for the opportunity.

the figure 8 tab was designed to stay on the can. It's the nit wits that take them off and toss them!

Dug tonight and started hearing chinese!
Ok, not quite, but I'm learning that if I get a
good 85ish signal, and I don't hit something
right off the bat, its big junk!! I'm down a good
18", and still have yet to dig out what I hit!
It's in my yard, so just put a bucket on it
For now, knees were getting stiff too.

Hey There HH!
Don't know what brand and model of detector you're using but I use to have a similar situation w/a Garret entry level detector many years ago. I learned that, if the detector said I had found a dime @ 2" and didn't find it at two inches, indeed it was a pop or bear can @ 6" plus every time. The humor in this is that the can was indeed worth 10 cents.

You're right Mike but still one would think the creators of the figure 8 pull tab would have done a little research prior to putting the invention on the market. I concur it's the mentally challenged that break the darn things off the cans and throw them away that have created the problem. Still one would think the designers would have seen this coming? Just a thought.

This is hilarious folks! I needed the chuckle this morning.

From the land of the Bluenose.....that is why I like hunting in Prince Edward Island....they donot allow pop makers or any metal pulltabs!

The person who invented that pull tab certainly was not a detectorist!
