The things that annoy me the most are the aluminum coated liners of drink products. My screwdiver goes through them and it takes a bit of time to pull them out. Pull tabs my come in quanities but you can at least hit them.

    My most annoying find is old pipelines. There's a field that I like to detect for loose change and rings, but unfortunately it's rampart with old pieces of pipe. I can't understand why, it's always been a baseball field as long as I can remember.

    I found an 8 ft (plus) long section of ground wire from some 12/3. I wanted to dig it up, but it wasn't coiled and was at least 5 inches in the hard clay. I worked at digging it up, and after excavating said 8 ft, I chopped it off with my digging tool and covered the whole. I was sweating by the time I gave up and this was autumn hunting. Whenever I go back to that sight, I'll run over that area and just get PO'd. I'll finish the task one day. I've found tons of modern scrapped building supplies on that hill.

    .22 shells and bullets.. Little buggers are hard to see when pinpointing.
    Next would be larger bullets and shotgun shells. They sound soooo good. Most of my sites are around 10:1 bulletsimagether.

    Old Bartle & James wine cooler caps- they show up as quarters on my Garrett most of the time. Also find alot of lead sinkers/fishing weights- some of those split shots can be hard to find in a pile of dirt.

    You too? Millennium tells a similar tale. Have both of you really dug up deceased doggies, or do we have a TH-ing urban legend on our hands?

    I hate pop cans.
    I guess the guys who built my house and did the sidewalk thought it would be good to bury their cans about a foot deep in my yard.
