Minlabe SE, ace 250, fisher 1280x
Thrillatahunt and I got out. I got 22.9 grams of silver and 2.14 grams of 14K. Plus several lbs of fishing weights as usual (rick found about 30 lbs, If you count the lead ingot he found.), about 4 bucks in clad, and about 30lbs of stainless steel , (looks like a old water well pump)

Nice finds, and congratulations on the gold!
 
The 2 bands are James Avery's,, The other is a Thailand silver, I bet its been there since the 70's
 
Thanks for the invite bud, the day went bye way too fast.

One of my rings.....

That was a cool find and unexpected... lets see that silver bar.
 
Got to love a day that involves both silver and gold.

I don't doubt those silvers have been laying there waiting for you for some time, they don't get to look like that over night. Found a chain bracelet that color, was hard to clean, commercial solutions would touch it, after a few soakings used fine steel wool.
 
5.5 pounds :thumbsup:

you mean it still hasnt rained there ?

wow thatsa serious drought.

glad it could bring some good to someone


SCROUNGER! good to hear from you.. its dryer than the scrooges empty wine glass here. They are saying the lakes will go back to just creeks soon. Its crazy whats showing up in the lakes. someone picked up some trash and piled it up on the shore,, there were several spot lights,, and boat stuff.. they are picking up arrowheads all over the lakes. water hunting isn't even necessary.
 
LOL what the heck did that big hunk of lead come from?
 
It probably was a 10 pound ingot that someone cut down, maybe for making home made fishing weights? You know, just slice off a piece and poke a hole in it.
