Went with another of my friends from the Michigan web site Randy and started in Lapeer. The only things I got on my first dive in a lake I have hit VERY hard
were a nickel and a 1888 indian head penny. Also the set of keys and of course the Zippo lighter. I don't seem to have enough of them!!!
Then we hit another lake that I have done pretty well in and all I got there was a wheat and the star token and a cross thingy with a motorcycle in the middle.
Randy hit the small park at that lake and got a 1900 and a 1908 indian head penny.
Well things were looking very slim and we were on the way home and decided to look around another lake for an access. Came across a camp and asked the person in the house if we could play in the water. He said sure!!!!
That was enough!! I was pretty tired but thought it was worth a try anyway. Randy was the first to strike gold in the wading area. A very nice 10K class ring from 2006. I was getting lots of change along with tools!! Yes, I got a huge 1 1/4 socket, a nut driver and a round file. I came up, and the manager who let us in was there. I gave him the tools and he thanked me. He said you guys don't waste any time do you!! I said no, we love the water!
Got back in and was finding more coins. Then I got another dreaded pulltab hit. Waving my hand I came up with the beautiful ring with emeralds in it. It is great to be able to fan your hand and see a gold ring emerge!! After getting out I showed it to Randy and he saw it was missing a stone. In searching for marks all we can come up with is a 8.5 inside. It is for sure gold. It had some black stuff on it and I cleaned it off. Need to find out what carat it is. Anyway the rest of the rings are junkers. Four lifeguard whistles were also nice finds. I have a nice collection of them also!! At least it turned out to be a good day.
On a more private note. I recieved a call from my 24 year old daughter. She and my 18 year old daughter went to southern Utah and put flowers on my wifes grave. It was very touching to me and I broke down. I miss Alison and the help she gave me in this world.
