LOWERED LAKE *GOLD & SILVER

In town they lowered lake with a private swimming area to repair the dam.
I contacted the owner & he said nope! I called the town hall & inquired about the high water mark & property line etc.The town owns the lake.
I talked with the mayor and he said there was gonna be a meeting Thurs about the repair work & the owner of the private club beach was gonna be present and he would talk to him.I told the mayor tell the owner I would bring a trash bag and discard any broken glass,bottles etc(which i did get almost a full bag of broken glass,soda cans,hubcaps,etc)
Mayor called back thursday night and said You got the green light Dave!
I worked half a day then headed over to the mucky lake.
my batteries were dead in camera when I got there so I apologize for no site pics thought for sure I'd find more here but wasn't a bad day.
some gold,3 silver rosies5 wheaties,2 junk rings,1 victorian- 1920's sterling ring with a green glass stone,a old lead soldier and $5.20 in clad

Dave you must be so disappointed with your finds today man!
No Colonial coppers, no silver shoe buckles, no GW buttons!

What the hecks goin' on man?!

Nice digs buddy!

Re: LOWERED LAKE *GOLD & SILVER

That ring is tops! Dont sell yourself short --those are awesome finds!
I always go with the expectation of finding nothing and if I find anything I am soaring.
The glass is half full man!
