Picked up the skiff from the mechanic yesterday, finally got to take her out after lunch on her maiden voyage on the "lake" I have been eyeballing a island thinking it would be virgin. Found a 1957 D Washington Quarter, 1952 D Rosie along with a 1946 Rosie. A silver and a brass catholic religious medallions. Couple of wheats, 1951 and a 1935 and a old 1939 Jefferson Nickel. My skin is like leather, I'm a tan man! The boat ran great, the spot was good, nice relaxing day in the water, I love this water hunting.
Enjoy the pix, HH & GL

I'm running out of warm days, I have a few good ideas on where I might find some colonial silver, its hard, my lake is just a mile from me, very temping knowing there is silver there. Too bad its not 1700's I will try that other spot soon, might even be tomorrow.

That lake is like a silver mine!
 
gotta work it while you can before it gets cold again, the boat working now should be all you need for even better finds. congrats and kill the islands
 
You babies we hunt in Maine when it's -20! Pick axes and shovels. It turns 50 and you guys are hibernating for the winter lol

Don't start talking tuff , those two in nova Scotia are the real deal. If it's 50 out your not catching me in chest deep water I was in today. Those two fishermen were making me cold reading about it last Feb

They're smart! They stay next to the salt water which is always much warmer. I spent a winter working on an island in the middle of the ocean and it's about 15-20 warmer than the mainland. If you had the history they do you might be out there freezing your ass off too :-)

Im a fair weather hunter!! Calm winds and following seas baby...Thats the way I roll...
 
Spend some of that treasure and buy yourself a decent quality wet suit. Fantastic finds by the way. Now you have me wondering about some islands on my local lakes.

15-20 degrees warmer? I remember it was 6 degrees out with thirty mile an hour winds, You might of been working in it, Hell back when I was working I was in weather like that every winter. Those two were out PLAYING in it! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Maybe this winter I will be right next to them!!!!!!
 
Nice haul Captain Treb. Congrats on the silvers.

I want to see a pic of the 'treasure skiff'... it would be even cooler if you were in it with one of those captain's hats...
