Good Day to Play. 7 Pieces of Silver

[ScubaDetector]

One 10K gold filled sterling ring so three silver, three brass and two aluminum. Two silver Washington's, two merc's and 6 wheat's. Certainly not for lack of trying here today. Lots of trash in this spot. Two tokens, president Garfield one and can't decipher the aluminum one yet. Eight rings isn't bad, just wish one or two were of the shiny yellow variety.

What you see is what I got except for a old brass boat handle I didn't get a picture of yet.




















Hopefully tomorrow will bring a nice yellow something that isn't brass!

Vpnavy, This beach was used between 1909 and 1963. Then it closed. It was HUGE. In 1967 the beach house was used for a holding cell for the Detroit riots. Finally it was demolished in 1973. Where I am playing is a overgrown mess of weeds and muck over the gravel that was once a beach. Nobody swims here any more. in fact it is against the law. It is even against the law to dive here for most people.

Here is a picture of the beach house and dock. Obviously the Detroit Police were constantly on this dock. I have found 7 Detroit police buttons out there now. There is absolutely nothing left out there on land or in the water to show where this once was. There used to be two huge slides out there also but were torn down before this dock was constructed. I have found some of the cut dock poles but not many.

Nice finds Scuba! With the size and reach of the dock and the beach house, I would think that it is only a matter of time and hitting the right area before your on the gold and more silver. Good Luck!
