Went out for a 4 hour hunt at my lake. Tried a couple new piers with no real success. Went out to the treasure island and found two very near miss War Nickles, a 1941 and a 1946 :BangHead:
I found a 1944 Merc that had a mean crust of tarnish that fell off in the water. Also a Chesterfield, "Continental" cigarette lighter, a pocket knife, and a what appears to be an old spark plug.

Enjoy the pix, HH & GL
