Were a little harder to come by because weed killer was put in the lake. and as the weeds decay they seem to be small particles suspended in the water.
along with a machine that is digging weeds out.
inviability is poor!!
I did manage some Gold , silver and stuff, Pendant is 10k
I do not have many pics of junk as the owner who gave permission has been there and I toss it in the trash.

The problems of pull tabs!!! This guy did not make it!!

Enjoy Jim

Jim, that's some nice looking stuff and great pics,,,,,poor pull tab, at least it wasn't a ring wrapped around that,,,,I swear, it seems like stingrays and occasional sharks are nothing compared to what you fresh water hunters endure,,,,,welcome to the forum,,,GL HH

Your clam looks an pearl mussel... did you cut the pulltab off of it?

It looks to me like a fresh water clam!! But I know there are lots of different kinds. Are you in fresh or salt water? I really love the variety of finds you are getting. Love your pictures. Keep em comming!!!

It is a fresh water mussel or clam. I have not cut the pull tab off, it still is as you see it.

I can't hunt fresh water... I rather bump into a shark than a snapping turtle or leeches :lol:

I see it as they both bite!!
As for the fresh water we do not have to deal with tides, waves or sanded in conditions. A bit of research pays off. Most old swimming areas are not where the modern swim beaches are today.
I think I am doing something right in fresh water.. here is last years and this years SILVER.

Maybe it seen someone with a toe ring and wanted one?

I do the same thing for saltwater beaches.. I use a before and after historic aerial site... it shows me area's back to the early 1930's and today... I also do a lot of reading at the library or talking to oldtimers (older than me) :yes:

That is an impressive picture

Ice Scratcher · Oct 4, 2013
