Well I've been working on the big switch over to the hard water...

This will be my second full season in the water, 99% of my finds came from the drink..

As I sort and put away this season's finds, I'll be posting some group shots of it all..

Thanks for looking and good luck to everyone!!!

I'll start with snaps, buckles, and buttons..

Nice Mr. Ice. Did you find any dead bodies attached to all those buckles? There had to be at least one. Or are you going to show the bodies later?

Nice stuff. That's a lot of buckles and I am surprised more people don't step on hooks hiding out there.

Thanks man, a lot of people do step on hooks, I did when I was a barefoot kid.. Gramps pushed it all the way through, cut the barb off and then it came out easy..

Thanks, those buckles are a terrible sign, people around here should just skip those signals altogether..

Thanks Joe.. I piled every hunt into one big pile lol.. Except the gold, silver, wheats, buffs, etc.. Took me forever to pick out and separate all of it this past week..

Here are my non bullet military/service related finds..

Thought I got pretty lucky to pull 2 pairs of captain's bars, one from land, one from water...

Yup Ice I do believe you take the prize for the best finds.Joes gold count is crazy but the history beats it.When you combine the gold with the history like that Xmas present ring you found from the 1800s well that's as good as it gets..

Thanks Mud!

Yeah those firetiger baits (rapela, and bombers) are used for trolling for walleye.. They also work great casting for them at night... Those four lures are sitting on top of my tackle box ready to fish again...
