Default newbie from California

Hello all,I was looking for a new hobbie because I was burned out on the others.May have found one here!I'm 60 yrs young and I think the Hunt fer silver will be something of a thrill.Not really because its money but to recover something that would normally be lost forever.Such a waste all those pull tabs just lying there for the taking.Whats the world record for a pull tab chain?You have a great website here but u know that.I'm looking forward to posting my finds and seeing more of yours.Thanx Greg for the help!

Hi, Gary and welcome to TQ! I think you will enjoy the fact that this hobby is one of the few that gives you something back, besides pull-tabs!

I hope you will take some time to familiarize yourself with the forum and all its features. There's a lot here and you might be surprised at what you run into!

Enjoy and happy hunting!
