Check for Nails!




 I was leading a charmed life!  I never found any nails in the wood I rescued.  I never needed a metal detector until...

... a magnolia tree had nails and screws (33 of them) buried deep (6") below the bark from decades passed.

I ruined 2 chain saw chains before getting them all.  (I was determined to win the battle.)

I'm older and (sometimes) smarter now.  I have a metal detector, and I'm more alert for the tell tale "tick" "tick" "tick" that says I've encountered something different in what I'm turning.
