Very early this morning I headed to a local swimming hole to detect for a couple of hours. I picked up two mercury dimes, a silver and a junk ring, a silver necklace, and a 14k gold band. Then late in the day I detected at a park for about 90 minutes and picked up a 1956 Washington silver quarter.
I'm really looking forward to some cooler weather. The recent high humidity has made it tough detecting at the parks.
HH!
Not a 30 silver coin day for you, but better than my best day so far this year!! Is this swimming hole at a park, private pond, river, crick? I could see doing a pond but the cricks and rivers around me have either been flooded, eroded and or had flood control work done that has destroyed any historically intact simming holes for me. You have had some stupendous success with your water sites, congrats again!!!
I'm starting to get tired of the heat and humidity myselfIt just wears you down. Nice couple of early Mercs and in super condition. Don't believe I ever found a 1930
That is depression days and them dimes hurt when lost
Nice chain and ring!!
The one I detected today is more of a pond and it's found at a public park.Originally Posted by xzlr8n

Yeah, it does wear you down for sure.I'm starting to get tired of the heat and humidity myselfAutumn is around the corner though.
The two mercs would clean up very nicely, but I may leave them as they are.
The gold band you found makes it worth it. But still, you never fail to find silver.

you have 1,000 silvers in your sights now! nice going dude!
Once again nice coins.
What detector did you use in the swimming hole? The gold ring is a sweet dig. I might be in the minority but I'd take a band like that over some silver coins any day. Congrats!

Great hunt!!
A few weeks ago we had a major storm roll through our area that dropped 10 plus inches of rain over the course of 24 hours. A resort lake that has been heavily used since the 30's couldn't contain the volume of water that was dumped into it. The dam broke and completely emptied the lake. I saw it as a great opportunity for metal detecting, but the DNR, Sheriffs dept and State Patrol thought otherwise. Currently they have the whole place as off limits.Hopefully that will change soon.
Congrats on your finds.
Why wont they let u detect the lake bottom??? Is it muddy and dangerous still?
