[size=large]Excal Loot
Old lake[/size]

It seems ya looters be look'n fer cuts in the sand..
hitting the mines after the storms ... so...
I decided to apply that theory to my fresh water lake!
We have had 40 to 60 mph winds lately...
Hit some spots that I shouldn't have even gotten a signal..
Well - Your theory works!!!

Hit the mine about 7;20pm, water temp was a cool 48 and the air 60..
signals were far apart - but they were there...no gold..."but even Skully's human.." - abandoned ship around 12:00pm

It chur is great to get back in the drink again!!!
Here is the Excals first loot for 2007

[size=medium]I added a personal touch to my Anderson's long shaft[/size]

My friends say I have ISSUES!!!

The skull was a stick shift knob...
I drilled a 2" deep hole in the top of the handle, and screwed in a 3" galv. course thread screw - leaving the head up about an inch and a half..
Then I used the Loctite 10min Marine Epoxy

Here is the rig in action
Notice the water...not even a ripple...glasss
If you look close at the upper right hand of the pic,
y'all see foam floating on top of the water..

[size=medium]My first catch in the water in 2007
They are all round me in the water, I think they are attracted to my headlamp[/size]

[size=x-large]Can you say "NITRO" [/size]

[size=large].925[/size]

[size=large]LA railroad token[/size]

[size=large]My first Merc for 2007 - 1928 -S [/size]

[size=medium]Lake glass chur aint purrdy - like beach glass.
When ever glass shows up in my floating basket I remove it from the lake.

I like the Anderson long shaft for the open areas...Well balanced and puts the controls behind ..helps keep the surf from pounding the controls.
It also puts the headphone cable closer to the source...
Brings a grin on every swing...." with the skulls"

I also cut one of the skulls in half that comes with Blair's hot sauce key chain - attached to the top of the bottle..

Then when I put the Epoxy on the coil I put the face half at the top of the coil facing up!

You can kinda see it it the first Pic

Thanks again for the tip on the Epoxy a while back - It's been a life saver!!!!!!!!!!!


I have the lighting rod on the 800 - rocky areas

Grid it and dig it..
