Well, the beach hunt yielded 28 cents. Black Beards treasure remains hidden for another year.

I tried out my new (used) Fisher CZ20 underwater detector today but all I found was 2 dimes, 1 coroded zincoln and some fishing sinkers.
I did find a 1951 Ben Franklin half on Sunday though!

This is the 1st time I have read ANY of this thread.
What do ya'll dig with? I have broke every cheap china mart garden tool I could find laying around trying to dig.
My daughter and I dug last year in the yard. Found a bunch of change beside the driveway. Stuff that fell out pulling keys out of pockets over the years.
Found a silver dime and wheat in the same spot in the back yard.
Ya'll have got me interested in pulling out the MD and seeing what else I can find.

I dig with a "Lesche" digger. It's like a combination between a Revolutionary War bayonet and a Rambo knife!

Ok, so the state of Minn. government shut down this week so I get an unexpected couple days off from work, until we can get moved over to a job in North Dakota. Get out my stuff to head to the lake about ten miles away, because the one here in town is just to crowded. ( Half mile long with up to 10k people using it over the 4th week end.) Well crap, the one I wanted to go to for some reason is closed. Two miles back into a little town beach early morning and I am the second one there. I had not done this beach in a couple years and the water was just great. The hunt was great and the beach hunter worked like a charm.
Three Hour hunt:
8 qts.
9 dimes
9 nicks
37 zn
17 cu
1 1956 wheat
2 Junk rings
1 Game boy game
1 9mm shell casing
1 junk loop ear ring
3 Hrs of peace of mind and glad to be back in the water. Just hope I don't get swimmer itch again!!!!

Rings #8, #9, and #10 from an earlier post. Two on the left are silver and the right is stainless steel from china.
8.48 grams of silver and maybe a little bit of small ice on the bigger ring.
