Go Up Go Down

These are all water finds, stayed clear of land the last 2 days.

Monday I hit the big lake, it was a beautiful day and the water was not like glass but very close.  I was running my trusty AT-Pro with the standard coil.  I ended up having my best silver ring count day yet.  Monday I ended up with 3 silver rings and 1 titanium ring.  Also got a toe and belly ring and some change.

Tuesday the big lake was very, very angry.  A nasty storm rolled in very early morning and had everything churning, so decided to seek out an inland lake.  Got out my lake map book, picked one I have never been to and off I flew.  I had to drive around the lake in search of a swimming area and ended up finding a small one.  I grabbed my AT-Pro and hit the water.  HOLY Crawfish!!  10 feet into the water and I'm hearing nothing but constant Iron tones, this is one SUPER trashy area.  I head back to the treasure wagon and switch to the 5X8"DD (only the second time I used it).  Thank goodness for that coil !!  The iron was insane, even out to neck deep the detector was constantly grunting.  I always run PRO/ZERO.  Well I slowed my swing to a snails pace and listened very hard for momentary good tones among the iron field.  I ended up pulling a decent about of clad, 1 silver ring, 2 junk rings, and some misc other charms.  Notice all the nickels...the 5X8"DD is HOT on nickels!!!!  I am convinced by the clad count and the grungy condition of the coins that noone has hunted this area in awhile...and I see why.  It was worse then the worst park I have ever detected in!  About every third scoop along with the good target I would have a rusty fishing hook.  I was horrified that people actually swim there.  I will be going back!!  I have no doubt the iron field is hiding more goodies.  Might even end up trying out the Super Sniper coil after I have beat it up with the 5X8"DD.

After about 2 hours I had enough, the constant iron grunting had the old ears worn out.  As I was leaving I run into a guy and talked for a moment.  I asked him if this was the only swimming area on the lake and he said no and gave me directions to another area.  So off I headed to the next swimming area.  I was pleasantly suprised to find this area much, much cleaner.  But the targets were much, much fewer.  I would say people do detect this area occationally.  Anyways about an hour and a half there and I have another Silver ring, a junk ring, a pocket knife, and some more clad.  I called it a day, pretty tired.

I cleaned up the 5 silver rings...here is the best of the 2 days water hunting.

I know its only silver, but we just don't have the gold up here in the North like the Southern guys do.  I love the AT-Pro, and am convinced that no other detector, beside possibly the XP Deus (in a waterproof case) would have worked at the first swimming hole.
