Every piece of reclaimed wood has a secret.
Some secrets cost you a blade.
Some cost you a project.
And some cost you a trip to the emergency room.
Welcome to #BuriedMetalWars.
Think you can find the hidden metal before it finds your saw?
Show us your board.
Scan it.
Find it.
Pull it out.
Then show the world what was hiding inside.
Nails.
Screws.
Bolts.
Wire.
Or something nobody expected.
Post your video with #BuriedMetalWars and tag @WizardDetectors.
The best finds win prizes.
The weirdest finds earn bragging rights.
And the hidden metal?
It doesn't stand a chance.
