Finds so far from a draining beach...

[Bavaria Mike]

This beach has given up several nice finds over the past 3 years. They partially drain it every year exposing most of the swim area but this year, they are draining it completely. Hunted here twice this week and found some very nice finds. Several silver pieces, rings, earrings and an 1808 silver 1 Kreuzer coin broken and barley readable. About 18 Euros in coins and over 50 Deutsch Marks, about 25 Euros worth. Here

I wish they would drain some of our lakes!

everything around here is either state parks (detecting is a huge no-no), or privately owned. I contacted a nearby recreational "lake" (it's just a big pond), that charges for entry. I asked if I could detect and they said NO!.. I did the usual stuff..."I won't leave holes...I'll dig up trash for the safety of the swimmers, etc". Then the truth came out... they (the owners) drain down the lake once a year, detect it themselves and keep all the goodies. Well, can't say I blame 'em, but it sure made me sell my water machine.. no where to get it wet unless it rains
