If anybody remembers that slogan it was for General Electric. They sure brought me to life today. On my second dive I was playing in a brand new section of the old area and found another walker. Moved a few more weeds and got a nice mid tone. The rest is history! 22.51 G of 18K with a small diamond. That sure got me going big time. 728.00 in scrap. That's the way I like them!!

No other gold. Just a walker, the Washington, 4 mercs, 3 silver rings a brass ring and a STEEL ring? What is up with that! (Big ring by the brass one) Two V nickels a 1906 and a 1912. Three buffalo, 2 1935 and a 1937 and a 1939 Jefferson. Five wheat's oldest is a 1924. The first silver ring is a St. Christopher and the second is an arrowhead with a paw print in the middle of it. Last one is a black stone.

The thin metal piece is a Pontiac, Chief of the Sixes emblem. I have found tokens like it but not an emblem like this thing is.

I also found a long HUGE anchor chain out there. I couldn't see if there is a big anchor on either end of it. Trying to dig it out I got a cramp in my leg. I had to go shallower to get rid of it and then lost where I was. Going back tomorrow. IF there is a big antique anchor out there I will spend a bunch of the summer digging it out so I can get a barge with a crane to pull it out for me. I have absolutely no idea what I might find on the end of it but I am hoping for an oak cross arm anchor. One of my dream finds.

Enjoy the pictures. I sure enjoyed the dives today!

That will change!! I can't stay this lucky. We all know that detecting is like playing the lottery. Sometimes you hit it big. Others you feel like giving up. This is a HUGE area. I got lucky today and stuck my coil down in the weeds in the right spot. Time will tell if I can do that in a few more spots at this old beach.

Thanks for the comments all

Could you use a buoy bag to mark the chain location next time you find it? Then take a GPS reading and remove the bag from sight?

I don't have an underwater GPS. I am thinking of a water bottle on a string. Nobody else dives there. I will find it tomorrow I hope. I have a good idea where it is. if not tomorrow I will run across it again I know. I sure am hoping it is a huge anchor. Thanks

How much anchor chain did you pull up? I think a nice anchor would be a very nice find. You had a good hunt. Nice gold ring and the coins are in nice shape as well!
Be safe !
