After an non-productive early morning goose hunt, loaded up the dive gear and made a return trip to try and find a rumored lost item of gold in the water.

The Treasure God's blessed me today, not just once, but 4 times..... and found that item!
Here's some pics:

found both necklaces with cross' tangled together by weeds in a clump

Fat 14kt necklace, heavy 14kt necklace/cross, heavy 925 necklace/cross and Old Gold men's ring

looks like it's marked 19kt or 18kt, or maybe 10 and the zero got mis-stamped, but it tested at least 14kt... 6.34gr

The rest of the stuff:

It could have been alot worse, the weeds are pretty thick and the bottom has a couple inches of silt that gets all stirred up quickly. After a few minutes you are basically working blind and by feel only. Used almost 2 tanks

Congrats on the amazing finds! Trying my luck at scuba-detecting again this weekend. I hope to have 1/10th the success you had on the hunt. That could very likely be a 18K ring since you said it tested at least as 14K.

were you under a dock or marina?

Think I'd be quitting the goose hunting for a while if I
found gold and silver like that in the river! Very nice.
