Metal Detecting
So all summer I had been digging my secret spot. It was a lake that was drained to fix up a dam, I found a gold ring and tons of silver, well around Late August the entire place overgrew with plants and all the metal detectors stopped coming. The dog park I visit often was right by there so I was still going by. One day I see 2 bulldozers, dozing the beach, pushing the sand all the way down, I knew I had to detect again, and when I did I was literally FILLING my pouch with silver and gold. Here are some pictures of the stuff I found. I was still finding stuff there last week, but my pointer broke and its being sent in for repair which may effectively end my detecting for the year and the lake is being filled in in 2 weeks... sad. But alas, heres the finds:

Awesome day of hunting!!! Hope you can find the owner of that class ring. Good Luck!!

CONGRATS!!!!!:occasion14:
 

I love the big ring with the red stone!
 

Yeah its an old signet ring, its stamped inside 12/25/29
 

Lot's of good finds.
 

I would go buy a new pin pointer and strike while the iron is hot. Thats a ton of finds, and probably more to be found in that 2 week window. Congrats!!
 

Fascinating! :notworthy:
 

Dude, that Andre the Giant toy is awesome! That other "stuff" is cool too :laughing7:

What range did your gold items show up in?

I agree with stewielouie! Get out there and keep at it. Reminds me of a lake that opened up for us a few years back. The gold and silver just kept coming and coming.
I'll bet if you dig down a foot there will be more targets. We had dug down over 3 feet to get to the early lost stuff.
If you have access to a big screener that vibrates, set it up and get the shovels!
 

good GOD!..thats alot of stuff..Great Finds man
 

Great treasures there - why not just go get another pointer - if there's another two weeks you could hunt, why let that opportunity
go by ?
 

Metal detectors have worked just fine without pinpointers for a long time...You will later regret no going with just the detector that has done 99% of the task already....
 

Great hunt, Some Beautiful Treasure and WTG on being aware! Just goes to show places are loaded with treasure. The problem with all, Getting to the stuff.
 

I agree get back out there and keep on digging. If you found all of that stuff there has to more... Congrats on all of your finds!! :occasion14:
We all want to see more pics and more finds.. way to go!! Go nuts, its a once and a life time opportunity...
 

Super nice diggs congrats
 

Woww! The dam gates literally flooded you with finds. Great catch and just love the last ring in pics.
 

you've done really great on the hunts, congrats.
 

Holy cow. You have some amazing finds there. Congrats! :thumbsup:
 

AmaZing spot your working, I would have the tent and campfire for that location
