Finally made it to the lake I wanted to hunt....

[Silver Surfer]

Finally healed up enough to have the energy to try a water hunt again... There is a lake near where I live that I have been DYING to hit, but just havent had the stamina for the whole boat thing...
We hit the lake around 1:30, so it was probably 2'ish when I got in the water... 71 deg surface temp, which surprised me. Hadnt hunted more than 10 min when I found my first target, Heart shaped pendant.... Okay, not too bad.. Then I started hitting coins. Quarter after quarter... It was amazing.. Oldest was 1967, so no silver, but ended up with 24 quarters in the short time I hunted.
About 30 min in, got a great sounding signal and after 4 deep scoops, pulled up a NICE 14k mens band with diamonds in a circle. Sweeeet!
Kept hunting, and ended up with one other ring, silver, and 5 silver earrings.. I only hunted 2 hrs, and didnt hardly touch the area. It is huge!

Nicest thing was, NO TRASH!! I only found 3 pop tops, no bottle caps, and the "Junk" consisted of a nice SS connector (locking kind), a carabiner, and a small pulley (like on a block and tackle)..

Hurting quite a bit now, but cant wipe the smile off my face.. The ring, as you can see, weighs a sweet 10.17 gms... The larger pics of the ring were taken before cleaning.. It really shined up nice..

Happy hunting all...

[Jason in Enid]

did you check those earrings close? I have almost thrown away silver before. It turns black like that quickly in saltwater.

[Smudge]

Nice finds.

You take it easy, though.

Don't undo what the doctors did.

Were you using the Excal or the Dual Field?

 

[S.S.Tupperware]

Sold the PI to a forum member in December... Excal... Virgin water. I have a feeling there is a lot more there, hopefully not too deep. I was pulling quarters a good foot and a half yesterday though.. Probably see's deeper since it is freshwater vs salt..
And yeah, I am taking it pretty easy. I wanted to keep hunting yesterday but the little voice told me I had better quit.. LOL.. Goin again tomorrow or friday. After my surgery on the 25th, I wont be able to hunt for 8 weeks they said (at least)..

 

[digum smacks]

wtg glad to see your back on the saddle again

 

[stevemc]

Hope the back is OK, after all that digging! How did the EMI/EMF thing work with your back implant? Oh, nice ring!

 

[seeker41]

awesome ring and...."Virgin water. I have a feeling there is a lot more there.."
dont overdo it, make sure you are in good shape for the surgery!!!!!!!!!

 

[tnt-k9]

Definately a sweet find You definately want to save some energy for your surgery, but then again if your gonna be down for 8 weeks, you may as well go in there broken, since they are gonna fix you. Naw you probably should consider a little moderation. Those goods will be there for you in the spring.

Sweet digs, hope the rest of the area proves good to ya!

Pay attention to the little voice it is your friend!

The worst part of the surgery your getting is they get ya both in the front and the back at the same time, so it hits ya at the same time when you move.

Hope your stim implant goes well for you.

~~Happy Hunting~~​

[Silver Surfer]

Making sure I don't over do it.... but want to get some hunting in before the long layup. Real close to my house which is a big plus. Gonna try again today.
