I really like snorkeling at the spring, but I rarely go because the family gets bored. I usually find lots of coins, so I am not getting rich, it's just fun. I also only use my vibratector, since bringing in my Pulse Diver would be frowned upon. The place has plenty of traffic.
Today was a little different, I got a pretty good haul of stuff. My son was getting dive lessons, so I was able to stay a little longer than usual before the family declared mutiny. I would say this is from about 4 hours in the water.
As you can see, very little junk, that's why I like it. I wonder what I could find with a detector that goes down more than 3 inches like the vibratector. About half way through I came up with this ring. I originally thought it was a piece of dive equipment or something.
It is a Tungsten Carbide ring. Very nice looking and in very good shape. Then I found this silver ring, which seems to be hollow, since it has a dent in it.
I don't know what that other marking is inside the ring. I also found this Silver Ring on the way out, it has modern markings, but doesn't look like a popular modern style. Wonder if it has some age to it?
Here is a picture showing the rings together.
Found this chain early on, think it is silver as well.
Found this small latch, or bolt. It is in good shape, like it was put there recently. It really reminds me of a bolt from a rifle, but is small, like a sliding lock on a public restroom door. Have some pennies in the background for reference.
This sure wore me out, took a long nap when I got home!!
Found one 1943 nickel. All pennies were 1970 and up. Dimes were all recent.
42 Pennies
13 Nickels
14 Dimes
11 Quarters
$5.22
