Worked that lake again that I have hit twice now with the PI.... It is a very big area..
Found a lot of trash and iron, but not enough to discourage me in the slightest.. Especially those nice shiny SS bolts, nuts, and washers I keep finding... I think whoever builds docks around there must be a fumble-fingers...
Found one area that had quite a few coins, and very deep ones at that.... I was going through anywere from 8 inches of sand to a good 12 inches, and then it was black, sticky, muck... Very hard to clear the scoop when you get that stuff in there..
Found several coins from 1965 to 1972, and many modern clad coins.. Found one area about 10 ft in diameter that I found 3 nickels, 1941 X 2, and one 1940.... That was pretty cool.. They came home really dirty but cleaned up nice (gently cleaned)..
The storms were passing by for the most part, but then the lightning and boomers started getting close... I play it pretty safe around storms, especially with a huge electro-magnetic field all around me in the water..
So I started working my way back at a brisk pace, and then got a nice solid, but faint, beep... I dug about 10 inches down with two scoops, and when I cleared the scoop, this beautiful ring was staring back at me!!!! Although it had dirt and sand in all the holes, I could tell right away that it was a keeper.. Sure enough, when I cleaned it up back at home, it is stamped with a 750!!!!
I was smiling all the way home even though it was howling and raining like there is no tomorrow....
My machine is about half paid off now I think!!
Also adding in a couple of pics of my PI Dual with the straight shaft now on it... It is a looooooong one, but man can I cover some water with it...
