Well yesterday was cold and miserable so I decided to wait till today to hit the lakes. I hit one that I only went to once before when my CZ-20 died. I was able to borrow a friends Beach hunter ID, BUT with a floating coil and me diving it was miserable. I was only able to get 2 wheat cents that day.
So today I get there at 10:00 am. Kind of late for me but it still is chilly here. The first ring I find is the 10K heart shaped with the small diamond chip in it. Then I hit that massive 14K mens class ring. It is HUGE. I have also never seen a 14K class ring. I have only found 10K. Those stones going around the green one might be diamonds??? I wont know until tomorrow. Then I pick up the 16K ring. I also have never found a 16K ring. On my second dive I picked up the 14K white gold ring.
No wheat's and no silver coins except for the standing liberty quarter that somebody decided to carve into just the eagle!! Very strange that out of all the coins I couldn't scrounge up one full silver one.
The headless lead soldier and the Florida Cities Bus Company West Palm Beach Bus Fare token were great finds. WHY a Florida token was in a Michigan lake is pretty strange. Anybody from down that way know the age of it?
BUT my most favorite find was the large token that was good for 5.00 in GOLD if presented at Citizen Press Office on or before Aug. 1 1914. I wish it would have been the GOLD!! It is in great condition and has a 44 stamped on the edge.
Small aluminum religious medal and the small buckle were neat. The buckle has a patent date of Dec. 23 1884. Metal comb and salt shaker with grapes on it, keys and knifes and the metal pull handle for an outboard motor.
Here are the pictures. Enjoy. That mans class ring is the biggest ring I have found to date. I will have it weighed tomorrow and the stones tested. It has the owners name in it and it will be returned if possible.
