Metal Detecting
So all summer I had been digging my secret spot. It was a lake that was drained to fix up a dam, I found a gold ring and tons of silver, well around Late August the entire place overgrew with plants and all the metal detectors stopped coming. The dog park I visit often was right by there so I was still going by. One day I see 2 bulldozers, dozing the beach, pushing the sand all the way down, I knew I had to detect again, and when I did I was literally FILLING my pouch with silver and gold. Here are some pictures of the stuff I found. I was still finding stuff there last week, but my pointer broke and its being sent in for repair which may effectively end my detecting for the year and the lake is being filled in in 2 weeks... sad. But alas, heres the finds:

I would go buy a new pin pointer and strike while the iron is hot. Thats a ton of finds, and probably more to be found in that 2 week window. Congrats!!

I agree with stewielouie! Get out there and keep at it. Reminds me of a lake that opened up for us a few years back. The gold and silver just kept coming and coming.
I'll bet if you dig down a foot there will be more targets. We had dug down over 3 feet to get to the early lost stuff.
If you have access to a big screener that vibrates, set it up and get the shovels!

Great treasures there - why not just go get another pointer - if there's another two weeks you could hunt, why let that opportunity
go by ?

Metal detectors have worked just fine without pinpointers for a long time...You will later regret no going with just the detector that has done 99% of the task already....
