What'S your worst find?

Hello everybody!

We always try to think about what our most valueable find is but what about the other side of the medal?

Isn't it that we (unfortuntaley) come up with way more junk than treasure? But what the worst find you've ever made?

For example I remember digging up an old oven pipe from about 1.5 meter depth (that's about 4.5 feet) two years ago.

I can tell you folks, that really hurt! I had spent digging at leats 2 hours on it!

Best wishes,

Christian

Some Good tips about safety here.  I dug into a spot below a once exploded transformer in Florida, the sand was inundated with that transformer oil, this was right below a light pole on Florida ave over by the cameras house, 26th st or so, anyway that oil is real bad for ya. 

And we must consider the fact that we are actually doing an environmental cleanup with our efforts  (TBD!! ENVIRO DIVE SERVICE!), and all these treasure laws and the like make me realize how cheesy and little the royalty and govts are, because we do a lot of work on our own time, for the love of it, and redirect a lot of pollution to the proper disposals.  Sometimes metal detecting is discouraged, and this is because the powers that are do not like people knowing how much trash is actually out there.  I think they discourage detecting because of the finding of extraterrestrial crash debris and artifacts also, too too late, but thats another story anyway.

I tried to bring this environmental cleanup aspect to the attention of the national American groups, but they did not want to hear it for some reason -- all govts downplay the mess out there, mostly because they did a lot of it, and they want $ for war, not for cleanup.  Until somebody gets hurt, like with the lead-seafood thing in Tampa, nobody notices the gargantuan piles of lead sinkers at every fishing spot, around every bottom obstruction, or the old military dump off in the corner of some agricultural field.  This is all times 100 or more in Europe btw.

This gives us direct power with the governments who I believe are complicit in this willful ignorance, and we should not waste our intellectual advantage.  Next time sombody says -- Have you checked the treasure hunting laws lately?  You ask them --Hey bucko, have you picked up any trash lately?
