@@slickmuck4312 very true, if properly disposed of it wouldn't ruin places. But some folks think they need to drink literally everywhere. And people that are inebriated don't care about littering because they're impaired. Take a walk down any city or rural street and count the discarded alcohol containers and beer bottle caps.

You were a seated coin away from a grand slam!! That place somewhere along that creek has to be some gold/silver jewelry and more silver coins. Without all the trash all you have to do is find the spot below the swimming hole where that water pooled up in floods. Maybe even up along the banks at a bend where the water washed when flooding? Great spot for sure. I could spend days hunting up there following that creek! Great video!

Who burrys a fence?😂😁😀 My best find I think was finding a ladie's grandmother's ring ! I searched a long time in the park for it while the grand-daughter was there & came back really early the next day. When that nice lady got her grandmother's ring back (her grand mom had just died) that was THE best !!! day ever !!! She wanted to pay me but seeing her tears of joy made the hrs of searching all worth it & I'd never charge money to find stuff like that. Like you, I do it for the fun of 'trying' (luck) at finding 'something'. Many times ya find nothing or find 'junk', but ya never know what you might find & that's the fun of it. Good luck on your 'hunting' & stay safe.
