Sand Shark finds....

[fwcrawford]

I took off to a local swimming lake for about 4 hours and searched from knee deep to neck deep..too dang hot for beach hunting LOL!!
First target of the day was a nickel and the next target was a challenge coin that someone told me they found in the water and then lost it themselves.. I tried searching for it last Sunday, but was searching where I was told it was.. it was a little further away from where they told me it was.
I only had about 30 minutes before the swimmers overwhelmed me and then I had to zig zag around all of that.
Still, I found two silver rings, a Saint Christopher pendant, and a pretty good clad count.
Earrings found turned out to be junk.
Found quite a few bobbie pins today too, but I didn't mind it too much.. gave me some more practice in recovering deep water targets... the magnet in my scoop sure helps keep those pesky things from falling through the holes.
Hope everyone had a great 4th!!!
Thanks for looking,
Felix

With two silvers an all that clad. You missed a gold ring. Or two. Go back. Creep the area. When there is no one there. hh an gl.

There's got to be at least one gold ring around there somewhere.. probably just missed it by a few inches.
I'll hit one sooner or later.

I was told a challenge coin is something that is given to people to challenge them to be a better person or something like that and you are supposed to show it when asked if you have it on you... you are supposed to keep it with you at all times.
This is the third one I have found.. many different types and patterns out there.

Many of the major units in the military have challenge coin. They show pride and espridacorp. We always carried them and if challenged and you didnt have one..... you bought the round of beers.

Or if you challenged and everyone from the unit had theirs you bought the beers!
