took a ride today to the town of Okeechobee, Fl., to have a look at the lake. My detecting gear with me in case I stumbled onto a place. I was curious about the huge observation pier, where people gather to watch the wildlife, fish, or do whatever. I figure a lot of coins went over the edge there in the past 60 years. I took a couple pictures to show you why not many of those coins will ever be recovered. They posted a few sentries to guard the place. All the grass and other growth is usually covered with 8 ft of water.
Not much rain in the past two years. The water you see is a man made channel or canal that circles the outer part of the lake.....Gil

After looking at the link Hobbes sent, I'll stick to my sand sharks and earthquakes out here in California!!
