Silver Washington, two silver Rosies, silver religious medalian, back at the lake

[treblehunter]

Picked up the skiff from the mechanic yesterday, finally got to take her out after lunch on her maiden voyage on the "lake" I have been eyeballing a island thinking it would be virgin. Found a 1957 D Washington Quarter, 1952 D Rosie along with a 1946 Rosie. A silver and a brass catholic religious medallions. Couple of wheats, 1951 and a 1935 and a old 1939 Jefferson Nickel. My skin is like leather, I'm a tan man! The boat ran great, the spot was good, nice relaxing day in the water, I love this water hunting.
Enjoy the pix, HH & GL

I'm running out of warm days, I have a few good ideas on where I might find some colonial silver, its hard, my lake is just a mile from me, very temping knowing there is silver there. Too bad its not 1700's I will try that other spot soon, might even be tomorrow.

That lake is like a silver mine!

Don't start talking tuff , those two in nova Scotia are the real deal. If it's 50 out your not catching me in chest deep water I was in today. Those two fishermen were making me cold reading about it last Feb

They're smart! They stay next to the salt water which is always much warmer. I spent a winter working on an island in the middle of the ocean and it's about 15-20 warmer than the mainland. If you had the history they do you might be out there freezing your ass off too :-)

Spend some of that treasure and buy yourself a decent quality wet suit. Fantastic finds by the way. Now you have me wondering about some islands on my local lakes.

15-20 degrees warmer? I remember it was 6 degrees out with thirty mile an hour winds, You might of been working in it, Hell back when I was working I was in weather like that every winter. Those two were out PLAYING in it! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Maybe this winter I will be right next to them!!!!!!
