12 of my 13 tanks were hungry so I went to a dive shop to get them fed. While I was there I got the urge to go play again. So off to the old swim area. As soon as I got there I got a call from the person I got the boat parts for yesterday. He now dropped his anchor off the bow of his boat in his slip. Told me another 50.00 will be waiting at the marina tomorrow when I retrieve it. So another job tomorrow.

So I went out with one tank and had a bit more fun. Got my second V nickel from this spot. A 1907. Got my second EVER 16k ring. That is what it is marked but I do have my doubts. Looks more like 10K. Three mercs and a Rosevelt. 3 junk rings, 4 wheat's and a house.

Strange finds were the Triple A round key, and the round aluminum pendant maybe with a broken loop? Any ideas on either? The round key is with a strange Ford key. I have a few of them with the futuristic cars on them.

Congrats on some nice finds! Very good of that guy to keep dropping stuff overboard for you to retrieve at $50 a pop. First time I've seen a 16k gold anything. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on the 16 K ri,g and silver finds! Awesome!

Your posts are great! Where else are we going to see a 16 K ring, and find out that lake water turns silver dark and not the nickles! There is a lot of info in these posts.

Or who to call when we drop our anchor in the drink! :D

I found a medal identical to the winged framed one a while back.
I think they made millions of those back in the day.
Great finds.

Sorry for the double post above. Still trying to figure out posting from my phone.
I'll fix it later. ...

***UPDATE*****

If this post is confusing you it's because I already fixed the above post so just disregard this one...
