Metal detector!

[The History Man]

I started off teaching history and have my degree in it. My passion.

I'm now a head of English for my sins.

I usually tell people I'm a mortician. Much more socially acceptable.

Re:

I might be wrong about the aluminium thing... Newb! Bonus is i might find a few Kleins!

I did dig my target and got a very nice piece of rusty aluminium... the sort of stuff they use on edges when plastering!

Re:

If it's rusty it's not aluminium.

Saw Andy and Lance finding lots of ring-pulls made of aluminium with their state of the art detectors. :mrgreen:

Rusty aluminium... Doh! Shows I've got a lot to learn when it comes to all this!

the corner mesh stuff is usually galvanised steel. there is no need to make wall corners lighter.

Beading as it is known I think!?!?, yeah mostly made of crap then galvanised for longer life.
My old place of work had a magnet for aluminium, but would only attract alloy to it with a current run to it. You probably won't ever find alloy that has rusted like steel does but it will oxidize as we all know.
