Most scrapyards won't accept railroad related scrap without a permit from the railroad company. They don't want people out tearing up existing tracks just to make a couple bucks. Check with your local scrapyard before hauling in a bucket of railroad spikes.
wow...you guys just need to buy better metal detectors. mine allows me to separate gold detection from other metals. it also separates other metals to. this allows me to heart tiny pings as i scan other metals and really rings out when i hit gold or what ever i'm hunting for.
uh, guys that steel your looking at.. is worth a fortune. all metal is worth money.. aluminum is upwards of 30centsa pound, doesnt take much to scrounge up alot..you have been standing on money the whole time.
The tires are put in the water how ever and they float until they stick to the bottom on a low tide. As the tide comes back up thay fill with water and stay put. The other junk could be from wash up trash and things from the ore piers that fell apart. They would have railroad tracks on them. Your shore line looks alot like the ones around here..Baltimore, MD
I bought a magnet on a stick at Home Depot (looks like a speaker magnet) which is great for picking up iron/steel that is the same color as soil/duff up in the Sierra Nevada. I pick up everything I find, including broken glass, and if not interesting, recycle it or dispose of it properly. I note where it was found so it has a context to tell a story, even if I am not there to tell it myself. Relics are fun to find and I prefer junk-free nature. She should recycle those spikes.
Great to hear that someone else removes stuff from nature that doesnt belong there :) I dont have a MD yet but I might get a Minelabs X-terra 705 since they seem to be good and not too expensive.
i have a little thought ,ther could have been a track laid there years ago for whot reason i dont know a mine or evar a old rail way but that amount of tyes in one spot is very odd i think the big bit of mettle was a old wheel barow or a cart certanly not a door but thats just whot i think any way happy hunting
@Hollrobb lol surprisingly not too too much, that stuff is heavy... 15$ a trip lol? and you're cleaving up the surroundings and uncovering areas that noones detected before...
@stonereflex ,I have a friend that hauls junk to sell and what he does is gets an old car and over time fills it up with small iron/metal things until he cant get anything more in it and then hauls that to the scrapyard.
Cool! I'm planning on going treasure hunting soon and would be thrilled to find something like that! My advantage is that I live in Europe....Roman coins are my goal- but this find holds a special fascination for me too because I'm a huge fan of old amusement parks and paraphernailia. Keep looking! : )
I'm in Vienna now, SebastianEngland, but moving to your location soon, as far as I can tell from your name! Know of any good searching spots in England?
@annmackin dudet you could claim that car if the owner doesn't come after it in about 2-3 months.
My grandfather did that once.... and gave it to my mom. It was already so messed up so she'd allow them to scratch there names in it. lol You could atcually own the car and sell it.
Just so you know, those railroad spikes could collectibles :) If they have numbers on the heads, they're call "date nails". (you'll see two digits of the year they were made). Rare ones can fetch a pretty penny. You may be overlooking treasure in what appears to be trash :)
Thanks toice! I will take a look at them the next time I am down there. I never noticed a number before, and there definately wasn't one on the one we kept for the last video, but I definitely did not look at all of them.
@annmackin I find railroad date nails from the late 1800's in old cowboy and sheep herder campfires that are everywhere in the desert southwest. You find old parts from cast iron stoves, too. They burned up the old railroad ties for camp wood (not too healthy) and the old date nails are in the ashes and strewn around the pits. Mine are from the old DRG&W rail head near Cisco, Utah..West Water Canyon. I saw and touched a US gold dollar from 1853 the other day with a bite mark in it! Too cool.
Yeah, you all should definitely take totes of metal out of there... that scrap is worth money.
