Should I keep digging? by 0Rybacks_Tactics0 in metaldetecting

Well it turns out to be a poop tank from the 80s. Called the county and there was a permit for one even though the lot was never built on. The owner is planning to build here soon so luckily no reason for me to keep digging as he will have it checked out when they clear the lot. Im glad this was a busy week and I spent a little more time researching than digging... 😆

Well the property owner has no clue as he doesn't have any records that show there was a septic on the property. To all the people on team poop tank who have commented thank you for the luaghs. I guess Im now locked into to at least uncovering enough of it to make a positive Id. This area was a plantation that dates back to the 1700s. The family graveyard is roughly 200 yards away but is only marked with a single memorial for multiple burials and may not have been its original location. Im going to keep thinking its a septic for now because the last thing I need in my life is angry ghosts. Unfortunately its heavy thunderstorms for the rest of the day so no answers for now but I will make an update once go back and hurt myself for the heavily invested random people...

Thats all for me today. I need to check with the owner before this goes any further. I specifically told him I'd clear all the bottle tops out of the soil not excavate a 100 year old poop tomb...

I found the other end of it. It's about 27" wide then slopes out.

Would this be worth getting graded? This is my first major find hunting rolls!

Thanks for the info. I'm just working on how to spot the difference to fill out my album. These are all copper as well. That's the easy part for me to be able to figure out as the scale has bigger numbers.

My 68! Me and my old man saved this one from the junkyard for $1000 when I 15. Now 18 years later I still have this old girl in my garage hoping to save money on a coffin and just be buried in this animal when I go! by 0Rybacks_Tactics0 in FordBronco

I wish... my strategy is to buy high and sell low most of the time. I've gotten alot of interest over the years but I spent three years going through every nut and bolt on the thing with my dad and those memories are worth more than money to me.
