I went down in the morning to a different lake, on the way I seen a older gent in his yard, his foundation told me early 1900's. He told me yes go at it. His son said you have 30 minutes, this place has been hit over and over. I dug three targets, stinking Lincoln at 6 inches:BangHead: a brass widjet/whatsit and a 1964 Canadian penny at 3 inches! Left there (the old guy liked me but said insurance and his neighbor lady got tied up and robbed, other neighbor got robbed so he gave me two cucumbers out of his garden and sent me on my way) Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa he must of wanted to let me hunt and felt I need cucumbers! The new lake was no good, nothing there

Soooooo I head for the lake Iv'e been hunting after I stopped back home for lunch (have to feed the machine)was there for a three hour tour.
Enjoy the pix, HH and GL

The ring is marked sterling and weighs 11.1 grams

Forgot to tell you all, that ring rang up a perfect 92, every direction.I thought I had a silver dollar!

Cool ring and that quarter looks like it's been used in a slot machine the way it's worn down on the edge!

That is by far the heaviest ring I have found to date,I have always thought of silver as being light.


Thank you all you guys for your comments

Vino, I respect your hunting abilities but I must adamantly disagree with you Sir! A fresh red home grown tomato is the feast of a King!

You're having a ball with this water hunting, aren't you? My gf goes back to work tomorrow afternoon, so I may have to load up the kayak and try one of the river islands here. You're making me want to try it!

Old dude and Vino, the best are Jersey tomatoes fresh out of the garden cut up with the cucumbers mixed with extra virgin olive oil and Colavita White Balsamic vinegar. Try that you two then talk to me!

Oh you silly boys! Maine soil grows the most delicious veggies on earth. Clean air clean soil and just the right amount of sun and rain.

NJ is the "garden state" best tomatoes on earth.


Thanks dig, so weird I have got a dragon and an elephant ring, both made of silver in the same spot. One was in the open water just off the end of the pier along with that quarter. The ring was under the pier. I'll be back under the pier later today, yesterday I was under there for two hours. It is about 30 ft wide and I have three more sections to do. The next few are going to be a little harder, it is not as deep, so I'm going to shorten up my detector and use a hand scoop.
