Central Texas water hunting

[texan connection]

I dont know why I dont do this more often.
This represents about 7 hrs detecting a freshwater beach at somerville lake.
Some great silver and GOLD, that chain is sterling as well as a few of the little rings, Got both earrings-but thier junk..
That odd dime is going on whatsits, maybe a error coin.

Both golds were HONKERS Im guessing close to 1/4 ounce each and one has 6 stones.

One of the little rings says 10K GF, what does that mean? gold plated? Nice bunch of Clad also.

Couple nice lures too they look to be old.
Wonder how that marble showed up, but I was putting alot of stuff in the float without checking the scope first, wanted to make time.

Got alot of attention from folks wondering about what I was doing and saw some nice Catfish brought in also

COOL RINGS NICE FIND

 

[olekyground]

wow! Great finds!!!!

 

[thrillathahunt]

Whoa, I thought you only got ONE gold ring....you must of got another this morning wtg

GF usually stands for Gold filled. It is better than a gold plated ring. In a gold filled ring multiple layers of 10k gold are bonded to a base metal. By law it must be 1/20th the weight of the ring....so, if the gold filled ring weighed 5 grams (let's say) it would contain .25 grams of 10k gold.

I'm looking forward to the plantation hunt tomorrow! See you bright and early.

TC..

I'm thinking about doing some water hunting myself :P and after seing your great finds I'm of to by some wellies

 

[stitchlips]

Didn't someone on here have a quarter that was puffed up like that? I think they determined heat was the cause of it. Looks like you found a nice honey hole!

 

[Burdie]

Wow I think you found a good site. OH did you find any floating bikinis?

TC....Great hunt,did my first water hunt ever at the Shark Pit.Congrat's on the Gold/Silver

 

[texan connection]

Thought about yall and the shark pit. heres what you need if you dont alredy have a better idea.

Yall are the reason i was just dumping my sand b-4 rechecking the hole. I did find some indian flakes and was hoping for a point. Id use a white bucket though. 13" tube was perfect

 

[tymcmurray]

Sounds like you have a great system! Keep it up!
