finally back in lake erie

wwwtimmcp · Apr 11, 2010

not alot of good finds but it sure was nice getting in the lake with my wetsuit on. 40 degrees farenheit but my 6.5mm scubapro wetsuit met the challenge nicely. that first rush of water near the zipper was an eye opener for sure but I managed 3 hours before the 1280x started acting up.

the pile left of the golf ball was from friday including the pennies 1952,1968,1972,1979,1991. 1.5 lbs of sinkers 10 lbs sinkers from today, I was picking them up 3-4 at a time. an aluminum fry pan, a brass pin from the clock I found a while ago,a guage from something modern,2 fishing lures,2 45 acp slugs,2 38 special slugs,and what looks like a fuel tank fitting.

it really felt good getting in the water

good hunting to all.

yes I've been to hole in the wall. you must be a glutton for punishment to detect there. an old quarry had a dock there to load ships with sandstone from amherst . I must have dug a thousand pull tabs each time I went. my dad worked at the ford plant for 30 years. as I've told my mom, you have to take out the trash to get the goodies.

thanks jrsherman I hope I dont disapoint you this year.

My Dad retired from the Avon Ford plant about 5 years ago ..We would walk the shore on windy days and find old coins/etc in the black sand!
