Well, if you were on the West Coast, according to the news, you could have had some of the rentable scooters. You never know what's down there.

I'd call that a successful hunt!

Good start

Congrats on the pulls. I wish the states had magnetic coinage...then again, I'm sure some of your coinage can and will be found in our waters.

How did you pull change up?

I bought a couple of rare earth magnets with 10m of cord. They were rated for 480 lbs of pull, although I doubt they would do that. After metal detecting with my son, we decided to try the part of the park where the river separates its two sections. On my 3rd cast under a pedestrian bridge, this is what I pulled up. Unloaded, but we called 911 and a Sheriff Deputy arrived in about 20 minutes.

Canadian coins are magnetic.
That's why they don't work in our machines.

I’m assuming they needed to hang on to the revolver for “evidence”??

...or did they let you keep it?

Rocksteady, Remember that you also got some good time exercise along with your treasure. I think you are hooked now.

Good job on the pistol return. We keep hoping to find one to turn in but so far only one and it was a rusted mess sat night special.
