Went to the lake today and did a little water hunting. When I got there I saw pine3874 in the water. I started shallow as he was deeper. I got an earring and clad in the water then in the dry sand I got a not so common find, it is a 1972 half (my birth year) cool! I went to the other beach at the park that I for one did not know about till recently. I just found some clad there so off to the big beach at the park down the road.
Pine said he was going to be there as well and he was. I am a touch taller so I was able to get a touch deeper but it only yielded a few clad coins. after a bit my arm was throbbing and I went shallow so my shorts could dry. Pine and I were chatting and swing pretty much next to each other when he got a signal we both thought was going to pan out to be nice.
But it ended up being a bling earring. About 10 to 15 feet away I got a foil signal on the Excalibur II and figured it was going to be another foil safety seal from a bottle. Well I shook the scoop and saw the glimmer of a GOLD pile in the scoop. I think I shouted at that point. Well it is a SWEET 26in 15.3 grams (total weight) 14k chain and Dolphin pendant. I ended up with $4.44 in clad an earring and GOLD!!! Just awesome!!!
