Coin Shooting Results

Well, I couldn't help but catch the fever after all the discussion about Metal Detecting recently so I decided to do a little "Coin shooting" in the back yard. Here are the results and with the temperature climbing up near 100 today I think I'll call it quits for now, LOL... All items were found between 2"-8" deep.

Two nails (one a roofing nail and the other about a 12d), one copper pipe fitting, a pull tab (getting scarcer everyday) and what looks like part of a handgun clip (unknown item), pat of a garden hose fitting, and 1/2 of a Levi Jeans snap.

Now you can rototill without worring about damaging the blades.

 

Good old pull tabs!
Now those could really slice a bare foot!

 

Ben:
TAKE YOUR TIME!
And don't worry, the good finds will arrive.
It takes more practice and patience than coin collecting.

 

You should have the garden hose fitting graded by SGS.

 

LOL I like that :bow: Nice finds Ben

 

I really ran to this post when you said shooting. Thought you were like me and tested guns in your back yard. Also, shot at coins to see what would happen. Never a valuable one though and doesn't matter anyway since I'm a lousy shot, usually miss them. My back yard is full of Lead. Wonder what will happen in the future if someone uses a metal detector there.

 

Ever see the Mythbusters episode where they shoot the silver dollar to try and put a hole in it?

 

I thought they used blank disks instead??

 

No they used real dollars!! Morgans, peace and one that looked like a trade dollar!

 

Grr..i'm gonna write them a letter (to ask for Kari's number)

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... Kari !

 

she's married now!! that's what I heard anyway...yeah I agree, ,they shot up that dollar with ease!

 

I found a new use for coins last week related to shooting things

but couldn't put a hole in it... remember?

 

didn't they put a dent with the old gun and a hole with the new gun?

 

I sit corrected. They were unable to hole the coins with the period weapons, but modern technology solved that problem!

My favorite episode is still "Cooling a 6-Pack" tho.

 

That's because she never met ME.
I give her about 2 weeks, after I lay on the charm.
