[size=large]Excal Loot
Old lake[/size]
ATTN: Surf Pirates
It seems ya looters be look'n fer cuts in the sand..
hitting the mines after the storms ... so...
I decided to apply that theory to my fresh water lakes!
We have had 40 to 60 mph winds lately...
Hit some spots that I shouldn't have even gotten a signal..
Well - Your theory works!!!
Hit the mine about 7;20pm, water temp was a cool 48 and the air 60..
signals were far apart - but they were there...no gold..."but even Skully's human.." - abandoned ship around 12:00pm
It chur is great to get back in the drink again!!!
Here is the Excals first loot for 2007
[size=medium]I added a personal touch to my Anderson's long shaft[/size]
My friends say I have ISSUES!!!
The skull was a stick shift knob...
I drilled a 2" deep hole in the top of the handle, and screwed in a 3" galv. course thread screw - leaving the head up about an inch and a half..
Then I used the Loctite 10min Marine Epoxy
Here is the rig in action
Notice the water...not even a ripple...glasss
If you look close at the upper right hand of the pic,
y'all see foam floating on top of the water..
[size=medium]My first catch in the water in 2007
They are all round me in the water, I think they are attracted to my headlamp[/size]
[size=x-large]Can you say "NITRO" [/size]
[size=large].925[/size]
[size=large]LA railroad token[/size]
[size=large]My first Merc for 2007 - 1928 -S [/size]
[size=medium]Lake glass chur aint purrdy - like beach glass.
When ever glass shows up in my floating basket I remove it from the lake.

[size=medium]Zinc Penny[/size]
[size=medium]Rest of the nut[/size]
[size=medium]I guess if ya can't thread a needle #2 - Or fish in the dark[/size]

And there is nothin' wrong with doing a little "fishing in the dark"!
I like that Railway Token you got. Those are always fun to find and sure beat those crusty Zincolns. Too bad that Merc didn't come out better. It was dropped practically new back in 1928. And congrat's on the Silver Ring and the Nitro! Also, I take it that the person that made that Sinker was a bit Blind. I just hope his fishing line wasn't a long piece of rope!
Hope you keep pulling those great finds Skully and look forward to your next post. Good Luck and HH Skully The Pirate!
