Compared to what most of what you folks found recently, probably not so much. I had the opportunity to hunt a lake draw down this morning with a few stipulations:

1: I could only hunt the sandy beach, I was not allowed to venture further.
2: I could only hunt for an hour and a half.

Given the rules that were set upon me, this was what I found:

$4.81 in Clad
1 Really cool token.
Silver broach/buckle
Silver earring
1 Fully intact 14k gold diamond engagement ring with a guestimated 1.3 ct in total diamonds
1 Vintage Coke bottle from the 1950's

...but I am not finished, on my way home I decided to stop at "KP", the same location where I found the clad and casings the other day, well somebody was having a lot of fun shooting the .30 cal. So much so, that I could of filled up an ammo can full of them. Knowing not to press my luck, I called it a day. While its not the most impressive goodies, hopefully this will get me out of the bad luck I have been having recently.

I pretty much was on my knees for the whole time and I didn't get to cover a 1/4 of the exposed sand. Why 1.5 hrs? I have a good friend who works for New Jersey Fish and Wildlife who mentioned to me if I wanted to hunt this lake draw down there were doing in state park/historic landmark. By me doing this, I had to abide by these guidelines so when the people fixing the dam and the other F & G officials came by (they were electro shocking the lake to gauge the fish status) I had to be on the road, so I and my buddy wouldn't be toast, pretty much from 6:30-8:00 am. I don't want to bite the hand so to speak because he is going to notify me of other draw downs they are participating in around the state. :laughing7:

* This is a pay-for public beach in the summer.

* It appears via my whimsical research that the token is a trade token, just trying to find out who its from.
