Here are my finds from my last 3 trips (13hours) to the old swimming hole. I thought this site dated to the early 1900’s but after a few old coins I’m thinking it had been used for several years prior to 1900. I found one more gold ring, 10K 3.0 grams. I found an additional 8 rings. A couple suspect as to being gold. I will update after I get my gold testing kit. My other jewelry items are a vintage brooch with an butterfly inlaid, a vintage necklace, a Religious medal and another costume brooch. 2 Cracker Jack lead toys a gun and a whistle. The gun is listed as a $25 value in a guide book. 2 tokens a good for 5 cents and a sweet 1852 Bank of Upper Canada 1/2 penny. Now for the old coins, an 1881 Indian, a 1867 sheild nickel and two Canadian large cents both dated 1859. Its been tough detecting due to the rocky ground and the fact that a lot of the area had been filled with large rocks to prevent erosion. Also the area is literally littered with trash. But it has been more than worth the extra effort. One other note is I set the Deus up for water and was using the high frequency coils set to 28khz. It seems to get good depth and it hits hard on the conductive targets.
