    Nice finds! How far out in the water did you go? Were the rings in deep water?

    Man, I spent a few hours in the water last time and only got a few bottlecaps and two pennies!

    Sweet!

    Went in for about 45 mins last Friday at NAB and got a few mems, caps and tabs, everything seemed to be about 6 to 8 inches deep in the sand there. Got a weak scoop, so gave in after bending it too far, gonna have to get a tougher one.

    Etrac007...nice going! You are incredibly lucky!
    I've been waiting for this hot weather to give people a chance to loose their loot in the water!
    I'm going to try the water downtown this weekend.
    Somehow, though, I feel I should return to the Michigan beaches since time is precious.
    Last September I had a field day in the water there with all the quarters...one after another...like I was in Vegas!
