Hi all,
Well, as all the parks it seems the beaches and shallow water areas are all pretty much pounded heavily and often here. Very few finds to be had in most areas I hunted-not even trash!
Went for a short hunt Wed. morning. Only a penny and a dime, plus bonus coil of copper wire. Low tones sounded promising but turned out to be only the usual ring pulls.
This is from Friday morning. Again, the low tones were the wrong kind of rings. This time I did manage to snag 53 cents in coins and a hotwheels type tank body. The best was a surprise for sure. I picked this particular spot because there is a shipwreck in 30 feet of water just off the point, where it ran aground in 1902 and broke apart. So I had hopes I might get lucky and find something from the wreck. Right at the tip of the point where 2 currents meet and waves wash up a lot of stuff I found what I believe is a harmonica reed plate. There is no way to know where it came from, but it is possible it did come from the wreck. The build of it seems to coincide with the right period.
As may be seen here, the lake was a bit on the rough side again due to the weather fronts coming through. This kept me staying fairly shallow because of the occasional sets of 2 food waves. I still managed to get wet though!
Photos are from about 2/3 up the bluff above the lake. Not bad going down, but it's one heck of a climb back up-especially with icy steps, wet, carrying equipment, and wearing waders.
