Got a call about a phone and a pair of sunglasses that went swimming so I decided to take my new toy for a spin and play for a while. First stop was the phone. Easy find in a marina. Next to launch my boat and go out for a ride. Since the sunglasses were at a boat launch I took my boat to it to put it in the water. Then took it out to play for a while. First stop was my marina to do a little work on my Sea Ray. Since the other side of the dock isn't rented yet I put them side by side.
Then went out to look at the party spots that I hunt on the lake and back to Selfridge boat launch for the glasses. Met the guy and get a bombshell dropped on me. He didn't lose them at the dock. He lost them in the channel after backing up his boat. They could be anywhere in the middle of the channel at the boat launch. (12 launch ramps) So while I am thinking impossible, we are waiting for a bunch of boats to clear out. After they do, I swim out and go down to 7 foot of black water and muck. I feel around and move forward. I come up to being further away from where he thinks they went in. So I turn around and go back down. Move towards the ramp my boat is at and bingo1 I find glasses. I come up and sure enough they were his!
Talk about another needle in a haystack! So I decide to go back to a party spot and use the rest of the tank up. I find a lot of bullets from WW1, one live one, bottle tops and pull tabs and 2 dimes, two nickels and 4 pennies. Still kind of cold out there but it was a good day.
