First water hunt

[ArkieGold]

I went to a local swim area this morning with Rosie, my new Excalibur II 800. Put on my wetsuit, got in and started swinging. Right off the bat I got a strong signal and scooped up what I first thought was a half dollar. Saw some weird looking stuff on it so just tossed it in my pouch thinking toy something. Went a little further and Rosie cried. Best way to describe the sound! Scooped up the 14K ladies bracelet! Cool!

Picture is as close as I can get it to come out. The "toy" turned out to be a 1990 Excalibur, Las Vegas NV, $1 game token! Wow, wonder what the odds of that are? I think it's a sign 8)

Barely scratched the surface of the swim area. Feet got numb so I left. Also not pictured were three pulltabs and some clad. Not as trashy as I thought it would be.

Thanks! I put the pic in my TN album so it should show up now...

72Cheyenne is gonna take some nice macro pics of the token later. Sorry that's the best I can do.

Great finds and I am sure plenty more.

Very nice bracelet. Are you hunting where they have tubes floating to mark the boundaries of the swimming area I have a couple of buddies that dive and they say that is the best place to find the goodies. Just follow the path of the floating tubes and rake it in.

Hey way to go! Keep us posted as to your success. Were you snorkeling or tank or did you get your hookah setup?

DANGLANGLY, no floating tubes in this particular spot but thanks for the info. There are those in other places and I'll be sure to check it out!

mcmurphi, thanks, I was just wading here. No hookah yet.
