STRANGE, you can't put an apostrophe in the title. SORRY.

I was relaxing today and not planning on diving. However, I got a call from a boater that got one of my business cards. He dropped some boat parts off the side of his boat. So I tell him I will meet him at the marina at 4:15. I go and it takes me about 5 minutes to find his parts in the muck. I got this for my effort.



Since I am near the beach I play at I decide to get a dive in and see what I can scrounge up.

Not a lot, but more of the same. 2 silver rings and two brass ones, 2 Washingtons, two merc's and a war nickel. A buffalo and 6 wheat's. I don't think that brass thing with a winder on it was a watch. However I have no idea what it was. Didn't find a lot of buckles today. I know they are still out hiding in the weeds and muck. I did find two houses and a regular Jefferson nickel.

Neat finds. Finally, someone else concerned with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation!

Using an apostrophe locked me out of 2 of my posts.
I was fortunate that the "Moderators" stepped right up and helped me straighten out my mistakes. You see,, they're not here to just spank you.
Congrats on retrieving $50 in parts from the drink.
You're doing quite well at picking away at the silver.

Nice days worth
"not allot but more of the same" Always amazes me different perspectives on finds, don't get me wrong, your perspective is not mine, just interesting.

Very cool day in the water, how is your visibility? My one lake I only have about a few inches, the other one I can see my coil at my feet. I don't like being in all the muck when it's so dark I can't see what's in my scoop!

And you paid for everything with your "time off". Is that wrist-band thing gold?

No gold this trip. The very black silver ring was gold plated and a few specs are still on it but that is all.

Unfortunately or fortunately the silver is very hard work. I guess if it was easy, somebody would have already got it!

I think I understand what you are saying. Black silver doesn't excite me much. Even a gold ring doesn't anymore. I need a canon or a machine gun or something totally off the wall to excite me. I remember when I found my first WW1 practice bomb. Now that was an interesting dive! Another huge diamond might help also!

The visibility is great till I move the weeds and the muck. When I start digging, NIL. Chasing those small brass rivets is a royal PAIN. Trouble is, it could be a silver dime or a ring. I have a system, however, since I can't see a thing if I accidentally drop the target, my system is flawed.

I used to carry two mesh bags and I am going back to it soon. Once I get the target in my hand, I put everything in a bag, hold the top closed and swish it in the water, then get the target out and out it in the finds bag. I don't know why I haven't used it this year. I hate wasting air feeling for a target I dropped.

Good job...
Welcome to "my world"... heh

When I was growing up (:/) ...
I would be doing a hull and come up to a person or more standing there waiting for me to surface...

Some days I would show up for an hour job... and leave in the evening ... full of good food and drink... and pocket of cash...
AND...
Requests / invites to all kinds of things.
From parties to making money jobs.

When I was in my teens I would work the marina boats by day... party by night.
Ahhh those were the days. :P

Congratz on the cash and the finds. Silver rings and silver coins on the same trip is a super good hunt for me!

After seeing several of your posts, it looks like detecting underwater is the way to go. You make some great finds. Good job!
