Cool Day 1 Trash, Day 2 Trash, Day 3 Silver, Day 4-5 Rings

I recently picked up a Tiger Shark and a sun spot 8" scoop and this is what I found on my first 5 hunts. BTW these are the my 5 hunts ever.

Day 1: Front yard = Trash and a piece of exhaust pipe. I know now what a large chunk of trash sounds like :-)


Day 2: Scuba diving around 20-30 feet in a local lake = Trash


Day 3: Park on a walk path going to a lake = 1961 half dollar still showing the bell lines on the back! A 1945 war nickel and a 1951 wheatie. This is how I found them. I did not clean them up at all ex. washing off the dirt in the lake water.



Day 4-5 at two different lakes from neck deep water to shore on each and the beach area on one. = Clad and 4 rings and a earring. There not marked so im assuming the 2 silver ones and earring are silver plated at best.



I also found probably 101 bobby pins and a lot of nails and other assorted trash. Im pretty sure I know what a bobby pin sounds like now.
