Man has anyone found a market for tent pegs ?

Nothing is compared to hunting a beautiful beach that's too cold to lay out on. Throw discrimination out the window. Pulse Induction fine in most places. Only fresh drops, coming from the birds. 4 of us around hunting almost every day since the New Year's. Each got silver, no one hit gold. We've tried everything. But the hottest item found ? Tent pegs !! So if anyone knows a market for these, please let us know. No offer refused.

When you find that market for those rusty pegs I will send you my vast collection so you can market them. They sound so good when they are down deep that I can not refrain from digging them. Then after digging half way to china one of those pegs sticks its nose out of the side of my hole. When my beaches are not giving up anything else I can always find a few of those pegs.

Couldn't describe it better George.

Last September's trip to Panama City Beach had me actually looking for a tent peg or two.

On the trip down, we broke and entirely ripped the handle off our large suit case; the one carrying the detectors and scoop. Figured a handle of some sort would be needed to keep it from being launch hard by the baggage handlers on the trip back home. Found a nice web belt in the water; an eye spot. Nice and sturdy to make a handle to grip. Got some bolts and washers at the hardware store but needed a way to put holes in the web belt. Though I spent nearly the entire week hunting the water, I took the HeadHunter Pulse up around the blanket line to look for tent pegs and after a few minutes had a few tent pegs. Picked the most rusted one (least amount of plating left to reduce the fumes when heating it). Put it on a red hot stove burner to heat it and then burned nice holes in the web belt for the bolts to fit through. The improvised handle worked like a charm.

Most of the time, any tent pegs I find hit the nearest trash can. After using one as a tool last September, it too hit the trash can.
Cheers,

You are lucky to have graduated to tent pegs I'm still working on marketing bottle caps.:

I haven't tried it yet but I figure at ten cents a piece at a yard sale, I should cover a new 3030 or maybe even a GPZ?
