Two lake-darkened Rosies.

[GroundSweeper]

Went back to the lake bed, same area I found the Walker last weekend and other coins the season before that.

Only found two coins today, but both were silver Rosies. A 1948 D and a 1951 S.

Also found some sort of safety tag from 1956, a seemingly true “rustproof” bleach cap (second one found here, a number of screw caps, and a cool ink bottle that has an “8” embossed on the bottom.

First double silver day in a long while, but 4 silvers from this spot in the last 3 hunts. Pretty warm these days, so cut it short this morning, was dripping sweat and it was only 9:15.

I found a donut shaped fishing weight like that on Saturday. Mine has a "3" on it. First one I've ever seen that shape.

Thank you hoser.

The clay soil here is red with iron, it probably doesn't help that this area is under water 98% of the year. Area was dammed up in 1965.

Thanks KH!

3 ounce weight (yours). I have found a bunch of similar ones but usually in the 1 to 2 ounce ones. I have a big bin of lead found while detecting, probably 20 pounds or more. I actually have gotten a bit lazy and toss some of them now, I should stop doing that.
