What did you find today?

[Trbo323]

Was it a lost van Gogh? Gold bullion? Maybe just the remote behind the cushions? Post a picture!

I had the metal detector in the yard today, we have only owned this house for 8 months. It's an aluminum can

Someone will recognize it, I drank way too much of it as a teen

SURGE

I always thought of that stuff as a nastier Mountain Dew

[William the Third]

Nastier Mountain Dew is a pretty accurate description (Sun Drop taste better that normal Mountain Dew for what it's worth). I actually had some "recently" (like six years ago), and was surprised how bad it tasted. I have no idea how I drank so much as a kid.

[Spider!]

I should get out my old detector and get some practice. I think the most valuable thing I've found was a friend's old metal sprinkler system ( we were looking for it).

I have found a quarter under the elementary school monkey bars, back when they were accessible. It was so cliche.

[Jonnydread]

That's funny. I have always hated Mountain Dew, but I LOVED Surge as a kid. I mostly hate soda now except for the occasional ginger beer or Moxie.

[William the Third]

You're the first person I've found to admit to liking Moxie. I drank it once, just to try it. Didn't hate it, but definitely didn't like it.

[Jonnydread]

Partially it’s regional and partially it’s me. I like astringent

[Riot]

Nothing like the taste of wet cigarettes after a hard day of work, huh?

Will you have a war crime with me at ReaperBall, Daddy?

I've metal detected on and off again for about 10 years now, have found a lot of nice stuff, Underwater metal detecting is favorite to do now a days

[FullContactUSA]

Mountain Dew Code Red was where it's at, that stuff and citrus Rip Its got me through my first deployment.

[William the Third]

Normal Mountain Dew sucks, but flavored Mountain Dew rock. Code Red is amazing, and Voltage is good too.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Today I found people have strong views on Mountain Dew and Surge (never heard of it).

I actually did a Surge commercial for a Marketing class in high school. A friend and I ran towards a finish line, while being shot at with paintball guns by my girlfriend at the time and her brother. My buddy had a broken collar bone, and he took a paintball right on it. He actually still won, flung his mask off, and poured the surge all over his face. Got an A+.

Got the kids metal detector a year or so ago. All they've found are screws and nails, except when the mother-in-law throws a handful of change in the backyard.

[moonweasel]

Technically not found, but I managed to come across a uranium glass plate in a second hand shop that everyone missed including the owners.
I would post a pic, but it appears to be really hard to take a glowing pic from under my UV torch.

More medical clamps, carbon fiber rod and the related clamps. The type used to affix shattered pelvises.

[Falcon16]

a vinyl copy of Angel of Retribution, which just so happens to be my favorite Judas Priest album. I already own it on CD but to have the vinyl is awesome. I grew up with my dad playing records all the time but only recently started buying new records myself. I'm really enjoying having a small collection of my favorite albums as physical large vinyls something better about them than CD's even. I don't play my vinyls all the time since I don't want to wear them out but usually a few nights a week I'll pull out an album and put it on and let it play from start to finish and just enjoy it

Mice. Heard the scritching in a wall, so I set up a bunch of traps this morning.

We had a Surge machine at the local grocery store when I was a kid. 50 cents for a 20oz bottle. Heck of a deal even back then, lol.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Used to have a mouse in the attic that would scratch directly above our bed at night. After many traps, went with the nuclear option and have a cat now. She is a proficient killer of all things and earned her keep and tummy rubs. (Okay, well maybe she kills a little too much....)

[glaman5266]

Cats are a big nope in this house, with 3/4 of us being allergic. Which is fine- I don’t want any more pets, lol.

[Seajay]

I imagine SURGE tastes just like SLURM.

[evilfishsticks]

it's probably made the same way.
