NW SCUBA/Dry Suit First Attempt Detecting Finds

[mcmurphi]

This is my first post but have been reading the site for a couple of years. I've done SCUBA in the NW for quite some time so it was an easy transition for me to put a detector in my hand under the water. I have normally done only land detecting but picked up a Fisher 1280-X on the cheap so thought I would give it try. I spent about an hour in a nice cold NW Lake detecting. By golly, it was a lot of fun too. I'm sure I'll be doing more.

Welcome Mcmurphi and congrats on a successful first day, the pocket watch is a real find, does it still work? I bet it has a story to tell, like so many of the finds we see, well done.

welcome aboard, start hitting those diving rafts at the beaches, us waders can usually only get close to one side of them, the abandoned or commercial sand pit swimming holes are another good area for divers.

Awesome finds Mcmurphi, I especially like the watch with the brass whistle/compass.

Great finds for your first time doing that! I look forward to seeing many more posts!

Nice pics. I live in Bellevue and dive and snorkel. Have two dry suits and since I'm short, they fit me like a gunny sack. Had them customized as much as possible. So I wet suit it. Used to go all winter, but now that I'm 71, I ease off in dead winter. Go in to Lake Washington a lot. Lots of lakes here, some with some deep buried goodies. Trying to hunt around the swimming platforms is hard to do with the weed growth. Keep 'em swinging.

I envy you, and hope to learn the scuba end of the equation myself
