Boy did I find a GREAT spot in the weeds!! Have absolutely no idea what I found where but I sure had fun. When you find a Barber quarter, 3 SL quarters and two Washington, you know you are in a virgin spot. First gold was the small one with 3 out of 4 black stones in it. Second is the signet. Lots of hallmarks in the signet. It is old and only 9K but nice. Stamped 9 and 375.

Anyway the silver kept ringing loud and clear today. I couldn't believe how many quarters i was able to scrounge up. Then the dimes, rings and Indian bracelet. I sure had my friend drooling as he pulled up a silver Roosevelt and no other silver or gold. He got a Detroit Police button though. That makes 4 from this spot now.

The brass oar lock was different. I have found hundreds and this is the first brass one. First large sledge hammer also.

Barber is 1911, three slq's no date I can see at this time, two Washington's three merc's, two Roosevelt's, a war nickel, four silver rings and the silver bracelet are my silver finds.

The button has a patent date of Dec. 9 1924 on it.

The only trash I dug were two bottle tops, two shotgun bases, a pull tab and a washer. Made for a very good day underwater. Enjoy the pictures!!











I sure hope to find more spots like that out there.

Sweet hunt with plenty of treasure. Looks like a great trash to treasure ration for sure. Hope you are having a great holiday weekend Scuba.
 

Just ordered my wetsuit.....lol...I've always, at least for the last couple years, wanted to detect water..not necessarily SCUBA but just some simple snorkeling in some of the rivers near me that host a lot of the canoe/tubing tours in the summer...so many boaters flipping over..losing their valuables...u get the picture...but trying to put together a week in early September to try it out...and I can't wait!..thx for the (always) great posts and also the inspiration...ddf
