Double Gold (Location Revealed in my final post)

[minton7]

The local swimming hole was very good to me last season. My hookah Dive system allowed me to hunt where most others could not. I wasn't planning on hitting it again until the end of the season to let it replenish. Well, a detecting buddy told me last night that they had totally drained the lake, so I went to explore last night. I found that they had cleaned the entire lake bottom; bull dozing some places and spreading out the sand. I hunted for about 2 hours with my trusty XLT in the 95% dry lake bottom. I got ate up with what looked like gnats, but they bit. I came out with 19 clad coins, a Timex waterproof watch, which I hope just needs a battery, and oh yeah...... 2 GOLD RINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10k Yellow Gold Wedding Band.... Approx. size 7.... about 6 1/2" deep

14KT Yellow Gold Small Ring With Garnet Stone.... Approx. size 5.. about 1" deep

Heading back tonite or tomorrow to see how many more I can pull out

Hey,

Ya the lakes and springs are great to hunt after they clean out of dredge them. They dredged a state park spring a few years back and recovered like 15 pounds of gold. Its illegal to hit the state springs in Florida so I was never able to hunt there. Great finds! Hope you get more.

Re: Double Gold

hit it again 2 more times..... pulled about 20 more coins... no more jewelry.... last night I spent nearly 3 hrs and got a clad quarter and a fathers day pin..... not going back anymore.... 20 miles one way..... am happy with what I have pulled..... I wont say there is nothing left as someone will hit it harder and maybe pull something.. but I will say that you will work VERY hard for every find..... even the clad is 7-8 inches..... the location...... ok here it is..... Tar Hollow State Park in SE Ohio.... if you hunt it... let me know what I missed
