Loaded up the J-E Detector Mobile with some machines and headed out early this morning. I hit a local lake with high hopes of lots of rings, blings & things. Well, I got lots of loot, bottle caps and half a dozen pull tabs. Where are the rings? There just weren't any to be found today. Each hunt is unique, full of surprises and sometimes a dud. I spent most of the morning dressed with my chest waders and AT3, cherry picking the good signals. I then put on the wetsuit, and hunted the deeper water, and all I got was more coins and bottle caps. At supper time, I changed into my land clothes and hunted with my GTI 2500 on the surrounding grass. I did manage a 1955 wheat cent.
And go figure......the only two people who happened to drop by, one a farmer & the other a local contractor, both owned a metal detector, and it happened to be a Garrett. Too funny.
Below are my finds, including a real ugly knife......
