Last summer detecting

[scubadetector]

I just thought I would give anyone interested an update on my detecting last summer. I didn't find a lot because I couldn't dive for 2 months. The dive shop here was moving and I was helping. They dropped the air compressor on my hand off a forklift and broke 3 of my fingers. However everything is ok and I got back into detecting the end of July.

I guess the most interesting finds caused a BIG stir at city hall! There is a story behind it and if you read my comment on the news article I am going to post (first comment)

I now have found 4 of these practice bombs.

My second favorite find is from the same era. The very first machine guns put on bi-planes (think Snoopy and the Red Barron) was the Lewis machine gun. I found a magazine for one that was either dropped or fell out of the bi-plane over lake St. Clair.



I ended the year with only 3200.00 in gold. A far cry from 6700.00 I found in 2012. I did find two rings for people and I made a road trip to northern MI to dive a few lakes in the top of the mitten.

I also got engaged to a wonderful christian lady and we plan on getting married next May. I gave her a ring the week before Christmas. Life has been pretty good.

I wish all a wonderful and prosperous new year. I hope to travel more and maybe meet a few of you from Michigan in my diving adventures.

Well for your sake Scubadetector I am glad it was defunct or you might not be around to get married to that wonderful Christian lady God has sent to you! Congrats on a Big beautiful Wedding Day in May, 2014! May God's blessings be with you both and congrats on what you did find in 2013.....every little bit counts rather than finding nothing most of the time! God Bless and hope you stay well and happy to continue your diving and married life after you two are united as one in God's sight! Amen! Ma

Well Scuba, those are some amazing finds but it sounds like the best find of all was your soul mate! Congratulations to you and your future wife. God Bless.

I always enjoy reading your posts on the beach/scuba forum and checking out your photos. Congrats on your engagement! If you ever get to the west side of Michigan let us know here. There are many on this side of the state who would enjoy meeting you!

Indeed you've got some interesting finds but to top your list of best find would have to be the wonderful woman you're one engaged to. Congratulations!

Congratulations Robert on your great find of a good christian Lady! It appears three broken fingers may have slowed you down enough to find your treasure for life! God Bless. George
