Hunting waist deep in a freshwater lake. Not finding much of anything and then BAM my first modern dollar coin. Admired it for a few secs and then BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM,BAM......5 more for a total of 6 all in a small 5'x10' area.

Man those coins wernt very deep and hit like a ton of bricks in the headphones.

LOL...I thought the exact same thing. I cant remember the last time I even had one $1 coin in my pocket, much less jump in a lake with a pocketful
 

And who know??,, there may have been 10 $1 coins.
Congrats on an excellent hunt. When are you going back?? lol
 

Looks like someone felt the same way about the new dollar coins as I do
 

SIX $1.00 coins? In water? WHAT? Good for you. That beats 600 pennies! Are they modern?mI don't recognize that coin. Congratulations!
 

Your Bam, Bam, - Bam, Bam, reminds me of watching the "Flintstones" as a youngster ! Congrats on your one dollar coins.
 

Congrats! 6 bucks in 6 seconds, can't beat that!
Sweet! :occasion14:

Maybe the weighted pockets was an attempted suicide. Any way, a great recovery.

About 6 years ago I went camping at a National Forest campground which had an automated pay machine. The change I received from the machine were all $1 Presidential coins. You could only pay with paper money, so over the course of several days of paying for my campsite I had a nice stash of $1 coins built up. So, first trip to town to pick up some stuff and I had a bulging pocket full of $1 coins which I used to pay for purchases. I'd bet that particular campground has quite a few lost $1 coins in it built up over the years.
 

You nailed it! Very nice score! :thumbsup:
 

Who is trying to drown the presidents? Nice little haul...
