went out this morning before my wife, Sherry got up and did a bit of swishing and some swinging. Pretty chilly on the lake this morning with the wind blowing and a little choppy but still had a good time. I went to the 'newer' swimming area that replaced the one I had been detecting in earlier in the week.
Here is some pics of this mornings finds:

With the Wheaties I've been getting I am wondering where the silver is?
Only found a dime, 2 Memorial pennies and the 3 Wheaties above during the swishing (water detecting). The rest of the coins were of swinging (dry land detecting) on the beach playground. One scoop of sand by a swingset turned up 2 quarters at the same time.
Total 16 coins for $1.43 (including the Wheaties).
Was hard going on the swish as there is so much rusty nails, rusty screws and other stuff in the water there. (Either I need more practice or the discrimination isn't quite right...had it set for foil, so I wouldn't miss gold but still got a lot of rusty iron nails and screws.) Probably best thing was pulling out the rusty nails so no one would step on them when they go swimming. Thanking God once again for letting me 'seek and find' these little 'treasures'.
Hope you all get to get out soon. Love this Stingray.
