Eric - This was a march post. I started Jan.13 2006

Remember " Gulf Hunter Quote!"

If you look at the pull tabs close, they are all different, and when you add the bottom piece to the round ones - We'll you get the picture.

I'll send some pictures via PM when I update the totals..

This was on land (drained Lake)with the 14" excelerator coil and minelab explorer 2

Grid It and Dig It.

That is remarkable. To see all that stuff come from the lake is truly astonishing. So get back out there and dig the heck out of the place while you still can and good luck.

I can't imagine digging that many tabs let alone lead fishing weights. I hate to say this but I have a visual image of the lake bottom looking like a beach we clam dig and hopefully the tide comes in to fill in the holes. At least your cleaning the enviroment and taking the small lead away from the lake. Nice going and good hunting

You ought to find a sunken boat or 2 with that many plugs that you have!

 

[Mrchile]

No, boats but the ranger said he found three outboard motors - he got one started after a few tries. We found 13 anchors in one day, on the surface. It was quit an under taking the ranger said, removing all the debris - bottles, cans, shoes, anchors, trash, chairs, anything you can imagine.

Been there, done that, it's hard work, fun and rewarding all rolled up into one nice package.

Thanks.
Thats cool. You can even estimate the gold by Kt type.
I saved the link in my favorites. Most of the rings have stones, two are platinum.
My post was mainly to get everyone out there diggin holes.
Hope it woked for some, With hard work also known as(treasure hunting)- Presistence will always pay off!!!

Grid it and dig it. Mr Chile

Thanks, Mike

Weathers Bad, Grounds real wet. But I dont think will stop me.
I run on pure determination, and faliure is not an option, in other words all finds are treasures. Weights, boatplugs, keys, you know one day I found swimming shorts burried - had .46 cents in the pocket??

Glad you can use it. I quit detecting years ago but started again cause its a good thing to focus on, good exercise, and a goodie every once in a while. I am a bit disappointed in my Explorer XS. It has NEVER found that deep silver I heard soooo much about, but I like the tone ID and night light. After dark in sand pits is cool but someone or ones are using all metal in them around here, way too clean
every where I go. Have gone to smaller coils for junk sites, get some clad and junk jewelery. Even the swim area at lakes have been vacuumed. They say you gotta be there the night after. Years ago they lowered sooner lake to fix the dam and I forgot about the swim area. We had a drought and even all metal mode had few finds. Lucky you. Have started athletic fields recently and the cheap keeprs picked up. Got a sterling earing the other night with CZ.s . They don't put diamonds in silver to they? Real pretty what ever they be.

Had to write a short post on the trunks. Can you imagine the expression on this guy's face when he came up from the water with no trunks. Talk about a find to treasure just thinking of his expression this is a priceless find in itself not to say it's coin count helps also. Neat one Mrchile love the story.
