I located a couple old swimming holes, one from the 1880s and another from from the 1920s to the late 40s or so. The older one has changed a lot since the dam below it was removed a few years ago, but I had hoped that something might be in the remaining river channel. No such luck unfortunately.
Then I moved up river a few miles to the later hole. Very difficult area because the muck was about a foot or more deep and loaded with weeds. But i did find one area near a bend that did have gravel and worked that hard. A few pull tabs and trash as expected. But the only good solid signal turned out to be a spoon. Go figure. Well, I'll try again later, and have 2 more old swimming holes to try yet!
