These are the finds from the bathhouse Island with the exception of the cant hook,that Cheyenne found last fall just before snow hit.
Those four little square things in the 2nd photo..have like a rubbery coating around them and hard metal in the middle...no clue...The round match safe is brass and was cool...dug four inches under an old oak near the lake to get it .Fishing lure is Heddon.
In the 4th pic are a Army Seal push back pin,old brass moon and stars pin (no markings),small gold chain,silver chain and the rings ...tiny gold band,silver solitaire diamond,really old ring missing stone,High School ring from 1982,and my favorite....diamond and sapphire (sapphire is mine and Cheyenne's birthstone so lucky us). Camera is giving us grief so this is the best I can do for now.

The little dirt road crosses a small bridge to a island,where it was all beach prior to 1930...there were two bath changing houses in the center of island.

Real nice stuff, Gypsy, it looks like by the condition of the quarter in picture 2 that some one had done a little "coin shooting" before your team got there. I've found a few like that too. Oh, and the Cant hook when complete it has about a 5 foot wooden handle and a heavy spike point in the other end. Out here in the west it's called a Peavey and they make backs sore. I enjoy your posts, replies, and research very much.
 

Hey Gypsy, great finds. Looks like it was a beautiful day also!!
