Water hunting

[Clovis4343]

Went for a water hunt in a fishing hole today(hunted a total of 5 hrs)and found a lot of sinkers and a few modern coins and one smooth large cent the only thing i can read on it is the words One Cent and the best find of the day was the 1906 barber half dollar.

That is a great half. I would love to water hunt more, but I struggle with the recovery process. You certainly have it nailed down based on that haul. Congrats!

I use a weighted belt with 30lbs on it so when I'm in water deeper then my waist when I go under with my mask on it holds me right in the spot and I don't have to try to fight the current as much today i was in water from knee deep to neck deep.

Sweet, nice half dollar! What are the 3 things you got that look like a cut out star in the center?

Very nice assortment of goodies for your hard work. Going underwater in a fishing hole is certainly a different animal than doing the same in an ocean or a lake--I would be a bit creeped out at what might be in the murky water.
I remember very well the pictured tokens that one would get from a machine in an amusement park penny arcade--you could put a name or date on it by positioning the dial and pulling down on a large handle which would stamp one character at a time into the soft metal disk.
