Once I got started under the pier at my lake I could not stop! Ha lol I'm so tired, I'll clean the silver tomorrow morning. 1941 Merc, 1956 and 1942 Wheats, 1965 Canadian Cent, two rings, the rose one is marked sterling, I think the other one is a mood ring. The watch is marked China. Enjoy the pix, I'm going to fall asleep in front of the TV
Thanks for looking, HH and GL
Brad

That little rose ring is very cool, Treb. Vino and I figured you'd steal his limelight, lol. You could buy a six pack with the clad. Nice hunt again.:icon_thumright:

Thanks all you guys, I had a first, never happened to me before. After dinner I got home and started lining up the finds and checking dates (every hunt I check dates) I found that Merc, never even knew I'd found it until after dinner! Its hard to see under the pier!

There are times when I just can't quit. But, alas, now that I'm a bit older, my body can and does! LOL

I actually do have to stay aware because I tend to stay too long. Before, I'd just be overtired. Now, well, you know. ;)

Great hunt!

Thank you everyone for your comments, most of yesterdays hunt was in deeper water, so it is actually easier then hunting on land. I don't force my coil, just nice slow wave. I have water in my one ear and yesterday started with a ear plug to keep out the water. Its my bad ear, I can't hear in it any way, I'm just trying to keep it from getting infected or swimmers ear. ha lol last summer I had poison ivy three times, this summer its going to be swimmers ear!

OMG! That's a lot of digging ! How much clad did you end up with, was it a record?
Nice little ring and Merc!

Do your self a favor and get the ear drops you can put in before you go in the water so it easier to clear the water out after. You are a gluten for punishment! Poison ivy and now swimmers ear!
I'll pray for you just in case!

It is a record for me on clad, 66 quarters, 52 dimes. I'm wearing a ear plug until I get it fixed, doing a Murine ear cleaning, much wax!!!
