Lake keeps giving it up, jewelry, wheat's and 23 nickels

I was in the water for four hours, I think I have hypothermia, ha. I feel like a little kid that doesn't want to come out of the pool, the dates on the last ten targets were from 1947 to one other deep one that was a 1967, after that, 1955. That is what kept me in the water for another hour.
Five Wheats, 50, 39, 44, 55, and 53 I have never pulled even close to that many nickels ever! So many times I thought I had a War Nickel. That kept me digging too.
Enjoy the pix, HH & GL
Brad

The necklace certainly is interesting! I can't make out the design on the front but really curious what the symbols on the back mean. Any idea?


Looks like it was a great hunt! Thanks for the idea/info of the Hydroskin jacket. Think I may have just found my next purchase for when the water temp drops this fall!

I'm sure you already know this but a war nickel has a higher TID then a regular nickel due to the silver content in it. Just wanted to mention it for those who might now have known. That is a heck of a ton of great finds! I hope that elusive 18k big gold ring packed with diamonds is only a hunt or two away!
