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!

Also an aluminum trade token "Good for 5 cents in Trade" . Unfortunately reverse side is full of crap and unreadable. Soaking it in hydrogen peroxide.

Jewelry was all costume.

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! Try to google it.

Rob what is the brand name of the scale in the pic and where did you buy it?

[TheJonasCollegeFund]

I'm at work....but I bought it on Ebay. I'll update later in the morning. I think the maker was "Digitech"? not sure...I'll edit with the answer.

me and 3 other guys went to Virginia beach this saturday evening and hunted all night.
I found 3 rings and 3 earrings, all junk jewelry except for one small silver earring.

[TheJonasCollegeFund]

I hit rings #8, #9, and #10 yesterday. The first two were silver with a combined weight of 8.48 grams. Ring #10 had me thinking platinum but was stainless steel from China.

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!!!!

[TheJonasCollegeFund]

I broke 4000 coins today and found ring #12. The ring was a fake Tiffany & Co. one. Still nice to see gold in the bottom of the plug!

I'll get a picture up tomorrow!

[TheJonasCollegeFund]

Went out early this 4th of July morning...nailed my 4th silver of the year. I got a nice 1944 Merc!
