Forget the Rings, Money is in Boat Anchors and Chains

[ScubaDetector]

Went out to the raft off last night. Not another detectorist in sight. Worked for me. Played until 2am. For those that have never heard of a raft off, here is last years picture. Over 5,000 boats and people everywhere. This is a drinking adult party on the lake.



Found the silver Claddagh ring first and some change. Finally hit a gold band. YEA!! Got back to the marina at 2am and slept. Decided to hit another spot today. Boy am I glad I did. I guess the picture will tell everything. A bit of clad and a few more sunglasses and BAM.

When I saw that chain hanging from the scoop I was floored. And yes I waded in this spot. A good day out in the water. 67.46 grams of 14K will work for me any day!

Incredible! Is that watch band gold too? It looks like an older watch.

I always think its like someone took a jewelry store or three and dumped it in the water for you to search and find lol Good job!!!Stay safe Robert

 

[A2coins]

Wowza Wowza

That's incredible. That would provide a great hunting spot for a long time. There's no telling how much good jewelry is scattered through that entire area just waiting to be plucked. And it looks like perfect hunting conditions. I assume you're going to be hunting that area for a while. Be sure to keep sharing the finds with us. HH

Sweet finds, you were due.
I remember that area from last year, gimme a holler if you plan on going back out.

 

[Silver Saver]

Very nice! Might it be possible to find a buyer that will pay more than scrap?

Awesome day congrats on the gold

It is a Citizen. I thought it was gold when I saw it. However the clasp is marked base metal as is the back. It is engraved on the back, but I suspect not.

I go out all the time Doug. Give me a shout. My boat is in the same slip in the same marina.

Ohh yes. This will not be scrapped. I wil either find a buyer or keep it. I just posted the scrap value to show the lowest price it is worth. In fact I already have a PM to sell it. I will never scrap this kind of thing. Thanks

Ahhhh....Large gathering of adults, mix with a lot of booze, a pleasant kind of morning hangover for a detector guy.

Congrats on the great day out! That pay for a few good many tanks of air.

It will pay my electric bill since I fill my own tanks.

Went out today to white caps on waves. Not fun. Got 16¢ before I called it quits. Wind and waves were horrible and I felt like I was in a washing machine. Hopefully it will subside soon.

[Trezurehunter]

Nice finds Scuba. Looks like that Boat Anchor could have weighed you down bringing it in !!
