Thanks everyone,actually didnt find much in dry sand area but once i worked my way out were it should have been waist deep BINGO.I worked the area side to side dragin my scoop to keep track of my path.Then i worked it straight to waters edge and back.I hope the ground thaws before water rises to normal.

Nice! Looks like some older styles there; some like they have been there a while. Thinking about the posts; you are working the area that was waist deep before the water dropped, and you have not gotten into the water?

What detector are you using? I'm thinking it isn't one you can get wet. Also thinking it may pay to get one you can get wet and hit that area real well as deep as you can go into the water.

Congrats on some great finds!

You really did Great!! Hard to believe no one has hit that beach before.Nowadays it is almost impossible to find a virgin site. I have hunted many times at winter when you can't get past 4 inches because ithe sand was frozen and that is Frustrating. Only thing you can hope for is warmer weather to thaw it out. Good luck!

well done. i had a simular situation last fall when the state park lake was drained , exposing the swimming area.... and just like you mentioned all the good stuff is in the 3-5 ft deep area.... i found a class ring too but no gold rings... but i did find many many ear rings-several of them gold... you may be missing the micro jewelry... just a little tip- when they started refilling the lake i was working ,iwould always work the area right where the waves meet the sand.. the gentle wave action will make previously undetectable targets detectable... good job, good luck and think spring....

Congrads on all the nice gold....
Would like to see your pic's but make sure not to give away your spot..............Good Luck, be careful


Another secret on lakes and private beach, most state's require that there be a certain depth on areas that people will dive off, into the water...these place must maintain this depth, there for they dredge out the bottoms, and haul the sand/silt away to usually a different part of the park.........good to ask the park ranger, or oldtimers in the area.
