33 degrees, snow, minimal wind, day off, what the heck to doAh, you will never know your limits until you test them! Off to the Fresh water lake again for Round 4. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had lowered the lake even more. I was walking on wet sand where 4 feet of water was two weeks ago. I could see all my scoop drag marks and that let me know how well I had covered the water two weeks ago. I started working the beach where I had left off two weeks ago and the very first target was a pleasing strong midtone.... Unfortunately, it is a Stainless Steel ring I think. Markings are INOX 316L.
A little further down the beach and I saw the area I had plucked 6 Hotwheels from, I knew I hadn't got them all and could see two peeking through the surface, found 4 more for a total of 10 out of one 3 foot area. I figure some kid capsized a float that had his cars on since this would be in about 6 foot at normal lake level. On I went and about an hour into the day, I got a midtone signal that went high tone on the backswing and then hit low/mid at a 90 degree sweep. I figured it was trash and almost didn't dig but since I was only digging good signals and hadn't had many yet, I dug away. Turned out to be another tarnished 14k womens wedding band. Fits my little finger perfectly. Of course, I got excited and stayed a total of 4 hours in the cold and snow but that was it other than a little clad, the small lock and the Batman action figure.
4 trips now to that little beach, 4 pieces of 14k from it. I seriously doubt there is anything left so I'll probably leave it alone and hit some of the exposed shorelines IF mother nature lets me. Wonder if I can handle the 25 degrees tomorrow morning
