and led me to some silver & gold
went out about 1 1/2 hrs before AM low - water was choppy - wind started to blow in - bottom was stirred and
viz was awful. After first half hour I had nothing - then I started to hit some deep wheats - then I got a deep silver ID bracelet
then nothing for awhile again - then hit a few more deep faint wheats - then few pieces of lead bar stock (have found a lot of this here - think they used it to melt and make sinkers - cant think of what else it would've been used for) - got another faint hit right near the lead and thought I had another ...was surprised to see white/yellow band in the scoop instead. Hit another short drought then got a few more deep wheats and then out popped the silver half...a few more wheats then a few silver dimes a buffalo and an indian head penny (looks like 186?)
conditions I had to deal with - I was happy

Sweet finds! I LOVE it when gold pops out. I'm always looking for it, and I'm always surprised when it shows up. Best hobby ever. :)

large black lump is coal - think it may have been from a small steam boat since this spot hada large pier for boats in the 1800s
have seen smaller pieces but kept this one - kind of a relic I guess

Besides the finds, one of the things I enjoy about your posts is the narrative you give about the conditions, recovery, etc. Thanks for posting.

I always try and give a little info - it may help a fellow TH'er down the road - whether its something I did different or something I don't do . I have people PM'ing me just about everyday asking for hints or tips - If I can help - I will
been in the hobby since 1975 at age 12 - done all kinds of detecting and met all kinds of people and hunters - so if I cant pass on my knowledge - I sometimes can pass on theirs
- thanks for the kind words
