Went out today on my boat after I worked on a dock. The water was muddy but mostly calm. Got in my wet suit and jumped in. Still too cold to dive but was great to wade in. My only coin find was a penny.
My second signal was a bell tone. Since I couldn't see bottom I decided to dig like always. Glad I did. I got my second Lewis Machine gun magazine from before WW1. One happy camper. I sure didn't expect to see that in my scoop. Especially where I was hunting. It gets pounded to death by waders. I can only guess they don't like overload tones on their machines. This one has 26 unfired 30 cal bullets in it. The one I found a few years ago has 6.
All I need to find now is the machine gun itself and I will be a very happy detectorist.
The water is almost warm enough for me to start diving. Just too dirty in lake St Clair. A few calm days and that will be taken care of.
This is the same place I have found 5 100lb Mark 1 practice bombs from the bi-planes that were first at Selfridge AB in 1916. I know there is more history there along with a lot more gold. This is going to be a very fun year as I have one of my boats in a marina less than 5 minutes away from the place. As soon as I can dive I should be able to find a few more goodies. The trouble with wading is most the 30 cal bullets and the 45 cal bullets fall through the scoop and chasing them is a royal pain.
This is it next to my other one. I just too a power washer to both.
