Central Texas water hunting

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

That dime looks like one of those novelty squirting dimes you could get from the Johnson & Smith catalogues, back in the day. Looks like a pinhole in the head over the ear, just to the right. I bet some kid was trying to fill it and it got lost, and sunk to the bottom, waiting for you to find it. Nice grab!

Looks like good finds for a hard day's work.

I didn't know you had a 1280 X! I have one that I've never got wet yet. Maybe next time I am down that way we can go dunking for gold? Great finds. Monty

Wow, bunch of finds! I hunted a beach at Fayette lake last night and got a bunch of clad. Going to Indianola next wekend, can't wait to see whats there(besides a bunch of trout!).
It will be awhile before I move up to hunting in the water though.

Most the clad was close in where folks sat down, the rings were about waist high but the lake was a fw feet down. good thing about freshwater is that stuff is found pretty much where dropped. not as much wave action going on. I found probaly a equall amount of trash as i did keepers.
