This weekend. Struck gold again

[scubadetector]

Saturday I went to one of my favorite lakes and only found a 1916 buffalo and a 1940 wheat along with a lot of new change.


Sunday I hit Cass lake in Pontiac MI. The first silver I got was a small ring missing a stone. Along with some new change from the 60's.

I decided to hit another spot that I went to last summer. It didn't disappoint me. My first find was a silver religious medal about the size of a half, a bit smaller. Then I hit a pocket spill from the 50's. A 1945 Walker, 1947 Washington and a 1954 dime all in one small area. A bit further I dug up another 1916 buffalo. 2 1916 beefalo's in one weekend? Strange. Another nice silver ring with a black onyx stone and a silver insert was next. Last but not least by any means was a mans 10K ring with a Garnett in it. No markings inside except a EK, but I just had it checked at my jewelers and they confirmed what I thought it was, GOLD!!!!!! It is also very old. My oldest ring out of that lake so far is a 1926 class ring. Will try to post a picture tomorrow. Love the water!!

I have the bug now. Two gold rings in one week. Now I need to get to 2 - 10 a day!!

Here are the pictures. Rings and coins haven't been cleaned yet. I just took off most the surface crud or oxidation whichever you prefer to call it!! That gold ring was in the water for many many years.

Craig-pi, Nothing on the outside either, That is why I took it to my local jewler. They are great and answer all my questions. Now I wish mine was 18K and with a diamond!!! Oh well the season is YOUNG. I always get my share of gold. They don't call me Detector-Bob-Scuba-Pants for just any reason!!


Yours is nice also doinadiggin, either of you want to trade?????
