"THE LAKE HAS DROPPED A FEW MORE FEET"PICS AND FINDS

Hi all, This evening i went down to check out the local lake and during the week the water level has dropped a little more.Well got 3 silver threepences and a half penny.I was surprised that the sludge and mud was not a real deep.Near the bank the mud was only about 10 inches deep.Found a once copper sign and a 2 seem bottle with a lip on it.Here a few pics of the site and finds.

Great finds, WTG!!!
Is that normal for that lake to dry up that way, or is that something that just started recenty?
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Very Cool!

I live near the beach and it makes me think that the extreme low tides could pay off big.

We're still looking for Capt. Kidds Loot 'round here.

Good Luck digging!
