Late Summer Lake Hunt

[johnny utah]

ok another disclaimer:
before anyone thinks this a regular occurrence, for modern-
far from it!! i went to the right beach at the "right time" these two hunts!
i have not done well on modern " this year until now!


the other thing is- to find so many good finds with great value in two hunts
is also rare for modern here!

all found in 5 1/2 ft or less water wading
Nox for all of it
day 1 i would say somewhere close to 7 hrs
day 2 prob 6 ish hrs judging from my photos

orange bracelet couldn't look at right away in water thought it was a kids junk bracelet
"hermes" paris - asked daughter she's like what!! - you found hermes!!!
had no idea - lol .. they retail for $700 for that weird look bracelet
hoping for around $250 out of it anyway
tiffany retails $2700 to $4k depends on where u bought it
hoping for around $1750- no less than $1500 will i be taking
should sell reasonably easy!
plat wedding band prob not so easy to sell although it's cool looking
may try & ebay it

great finds
tiff & co ring 750 gold! 7.9 g
"diana" plat wedding band 10.5 g!!
"Hermes" Paris Clik Lok Bracelet
some other desiger bracelet
- not sure yet about that one

handful of junk/tungsten rings too
great two day hunt!!

precious metal weigh in
obviously approx!
tiffany $500 scrap weight - never a scrap item!
10k earrings $130
$295 plat band
plus the hermes bracelet
quite a haul...
anyone recognize that last bracelet designer - let me know
i wish everyone Good Luck!

Great haul, looks like you had a great day. Did you happen to take a pic of all your finds together? I'd like to see pics of the junk and coins you found too. Thanks!

Great haul, looks like you had a great day. Did you happen to take a pic of all your finds together? I'd like to see pics of the junk and coins you found too. Thanks!

i was looking for additional pics - i will look again on my ph
the finds were from both days -
i had defin a decent share of junk for the two days- of course lots of pull tabs- old/new style both
typical old can lids too
sometimes i just go straight to the trash can with it- especially if i fill the pouch
only really a small handful of modern coins - plenty of pennies -
my modern hunts weren't panning out much this year so i haven't been snapping a lot of photos
of the garbage/coins
i'll keep it in mind in the future for the pics of everything

That would be great! Sometimes we forget to dump the trash, and when we get home an item would turn out to be "not trash." Were your coin dates recent drops, or a variety of different years? Was any silver?

i can spot silver a mile away - lol.. no silver in those 2 hunts
ours are almost always cookie coated
no silver - very modern beach
all recent drops here - coins & jewelry
all of the trash was in fact junk - pulltabs - wire - - can lids - foil - molten aluminum
etc..

 

[johnny utah]

what i do to get to the good stuff
sometimes it mostly junk - other times it can be quite a good day!
other pic is from a dive - note all the vapes i remove out of the water!
broken glass etc..

Holy smokes! That looks like some my best finds combined into a couple of hunts! I would make going to that beach a regular occurrence.

Some really nice finds at a good site. Yes it does take putting in the hours to get finds like that at a good site. I would get back there ASAP since there likely is more to be found.
