They're also commonly used on flags that are meant to be attached to flag poles.

@minamik I feel like this thread is actively making me smarter (:

Day 9: 5 coins, some little gear thingie, 2 attachments for a water hose, the top to a broken cork top bottle, loads of bits/bobs, and a really weird little fossil.
-
Day 10: I didn't find an awful lot on this hunt, so I put some of the interesting coins I got from a lot sale of foreign coins for my collection in the picture too. The M from someone's mailbox, a chunk of iron, a lead tire weight, and a silver plated badge that says "Captain School Safety Patrol" on it.
-
Day 11: Some coins, a lead sinker, and a few bits and bobs.....plus something gross that I also saw...
-
@minamik Nothing gross about a crawfish... unless he’s dead. Looks kinda dead :(
-
@billy They freak me out, lol. And yeah, unfortunately this little fella was deceased.
-
Day 12: The Great Iron Horde....and a beer can I actually hadn't heard of before, lol.
We're about caught up...but this is where these low volume hunts are about to come to an end! Stay tuned!
-
@Minamik I'm not gonna lie... this has become one of my favourite threads on the forums! Thank you for sharing :)
-
@burup It only gets better from here! Glad you're enjoying it.
-
@burup Came here to say the exact same thing....and look at today's score
-
Oh, oops. Forgot to mention, someone said that big piece of iron might have been off a stove or something.
-
@minamik clearly a cowboy belt buckle! Lol
-
@tokyoslim Funnily enough, someone actually suggested it was a belt buckle, until I told them just how big it actually was, lol.

Day 13: So, this takes place about 2 weeks ago. I take my metal detector down to the woods. I found a few shotgun shells and a modern penny, so I head back home, a bit disheartened. I decide to swing the detector around in the yard until it gets dark and I find another penny and another piece of an old cap gun.
The next morning, I head to a different woods, and almost at the very back end, my detector starts going crazy. There are signals everywhere! Soo, I dig one of them, it's just a rusty piece of iron...but next to it is a broken bit of bottle....Curious, no?
Well, it doesn't take me long to realize I've stumbled upon an old bottle dump! And to this day, I'm still busy digging it up.
-
-
Day 14: More bottle dump finds.
-
Day 15: Cleaned up the cup from the bottle dump, and brought home some of the iron that I was too afraid to put in the bag with glass bottles. The first one is probably the door from a stove or furnace, and the last one is a shovel head. And a little lead disc that has writing on it. I believe it says "Turner MFQ CO Kokomo, IN"
-
Day 16: It's like the Giving Tree, but a bottle dump.
