Default Re: Mishap with nails in tree

Its more common in the valley where we live in the country, due to more old fences nailed against trees years ago.

Not as common in the city, but very often, its not a hard guess to know which tree in a backyard was a likely specimen for a child's treehouse.

Tommy, a man that mills lumber down the street - small operation - uses a metal detector on logs before sending them through his machine.

Odds are, that an arborist could check a 36" diameter trunk upwards of 10' high to ground level in less than a minute with a better quality mineral / metal detector.
