or early 80's. Did you dig pop tops and pull tabs? certainly there had to be fewer of them that there is 50 years later.
I have heard stories from one source that his neighbor was a detectorist in the late 70's and 80's who brought home CW relics almost every time he went hunting at a spot near Decatur, Georgia. I have hunted that area quite a bit with an Nox 800 and found just a few relics that may be period. A watering bit, carved 3 ringer. But don't bring relics home every week.
Was that period the golden days for detectors and relic hunting?
I hunt another area that was a very large CW battle and have not had much luck with my 800. One problem is that these CW battle areas in urban Atlanta are so very trashy. I am one to believe that no area is hunted out, but have come to believe they can become so covered in metallic trash that they have been rendered very difficult. When where the stupid pop top and pull tabs invented? Before the 70's or 80's?
Oh well just a mini rant against trashy hunting locations. I guess I just have to deal with my hunting areas.
But I still am amazed at PA & VA hunters and some North GA hunters who can pull three ringers in by the dozens on a single hunt.
