[QUOTE="hAyyoUinAU, post: 355536, member: 10637"] Scenario 1 is most likely. Scenario 2 you are kidding yourself. What you guys discriminate the pull tabs from the iron nails. Great stuff. Wow. lol Ferrous or non ferrous, that's it hey. lol Anyways your points have been made over and over but nothing proven to be a certainty. Far from it. My question is, why do some people throw back rubbish they dig out of a hole? I come back from every trip I make with a bag of rubbish, not always full but will contain junk metal and plastics I find. To me, cleaning up gets rewarded later with nice gold. Whilst others are busy discriminating and deciding the unknown, I am just busy digging. I am 40, far from old, and I will dig till the cows come home if I have to. If you don't like digging and get disappointed, then this isn't the right hobby for you. Is it fun to guess what it could be and dig it up and be right? YES Is it cool to decide not to dig a target only to have some other dig up that rusty pin? YES Is that why I prospect? NO. I am not a gambling guy. To me, everything that comes out of the ground can be information, very useful too. And it is history, regardless if it is 2 years old or 50 years old. Thus me not understanding why some like to discriminate. Unless the price of aluminium went up... lol [/QUOTE]
