My theory on pull tabs is that wherever people have relaxed and dropped them, they have also dropped the goodies we all want to find. The older the tab looks, the more likely you will find something rare and special. Pull tabs are good. Very good.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

AU, I will keep an eye out on my readings for you Great

I must admit though, we do not have that much of an issue... just a couple of real problem sites....

Xavier, do you want me to come there and find the pull-tabs??? seeing as you cannot find them Grin

GD, I have to agree with you about keeping an eye out for old pull-tabs, as that is where the good stuff is Kiss

BA that chart is nice and a great idea.... umm maybe I can make a chart up of SA tabs Wise

Goldnboy, I have a jar full of the things Shocked

I could start my own business Rider

Xavier, you are not playing nicely my friend.... I will get you counting sheep again Sheep

Ok now for some very serious stuff Shocked

I have looked through all my pull-tabs and can only find 2 different types of rings, and 2 different types of tabs.... Angry

I do not think we have had that many different types in this country Wise

Very strange Idea

I am getting worried that we have so few here in SA, there has to be some serious reason for this Idea

Umm Viking has run away from us Grin

But that video is from a guy in Italy.... very nice video.....

AU, The tabs are all aluminium, so I guess would ring quite high.... I seem to remember that early tabs were steel with a coating to stop rust.... Maybe those tabs would rust away with time.... Mixing them up with hammered is a big problem.... But remember that pulltab = Gold also.....
