My first V nickel, pocket spill old coins, and two gold rings at the lake!

Woke up early and worked on my new old boat, 1996 sixteen foot Carolina Skiff. The weather was much cooler, but the humidity is in the 90% range. I was rebuilding the hubs on the trailer and was very sweaty, decided at 3:00 pm to go for a dip at my honey hole. second target was this 1911 V nickel, my first ever. If you have noticed I have been asking for this for awhile.



I then chased a few targets and came up with the two rings, it was cold but I kept hitting good 50's signals and I gritted my teeth (to stop them chattering) and kept hunting. I finally got to another 50ish target and like the rings it was deep. I was in water up to my chin (I'm 6 ft tall) Finally after digging Approximately 18 " I look in the scoop and there was a Indian buffalo(1928) in there. I checked the hole and heard a blast high tone, up comes a 1945 Quarter, then another mid scratchy tone, another buffalo Indian(1927). I lasted about an hour then left. I'm a very happy hunter, but still cold!
Enjoy the pix, HH & GL

It's so much fun, I got hooked immediately!

I'm sure once I reach that point I too will be hooked.

I swear, this hobby is more like an actual obsession with me. the only thing that even comes close is when I got into playing guitar when I was about 12.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is normal or if I'm finally cracking up.

Nice coins, and rings! when I try to clean my nickels, they look like the surface of the moon!

Just starting out water hunting but the Pro does it right. Congrats on the finds
