Back to the swimming hole again, with daughter!

[JackInFlorida]

I love this place. So far, I don't think I have ever found any jewelry of value, but there are so many targets that its addictive. My daughter put some weights on and was helping me dig, so we were moving along quickly.

1950 dime, 1960 nickle are to oldest of the lot.



This is a kind of neat ring. I think it is copper. My bride says it's a dome ring which was all the rage several decades ago (for women).

Congrats - Nice

Are you only md'g?

try to find the area of diving - then - either swim down with a 1/2 mesh basket or dredge that area, I tell you - YOU WILL BE VERY VERY happy.

I did this at a park swiming hole (the 1/2 inch mesh basket) while I was A lifeguard. Each haul was aprox $5 to $7 in coins n' aprox ea 10 hauls gave me jewelry.

So Really Think About Finding That Diving Area!!!!

spidercoil is right when i was i kid i use to dive down and swim to bottom under dive board and found bracelets and necklaces that was untill the lifeguard told me to stop doing it seems i was giving her a heart attack everytime i did it (back then i could hold my breath a long time) guess she thought i had drowned...lol

try to find the area of diving

Yes, there is a diving area. I noticed someone had thrown a big piece of carpeting down there. Jeez wonder what for? Anyway, three issues:

1. Lifeguard right there, probably would frown on me being under divers/jumpers
2. Pretty deep, I have gone down there, but can only stay for a few seconds
3. People are diving almost constantly

I had tried when I first started going there. I can hold my breath about twice as long now from all the practice, so I'll head over to that area again. Only other problem is that it is now summer. The place will likely be packed every day.
