Default ummmmmmmmm

From the land of the Bluenose..hunt it all I say. Full ahead with max depth and no discrimination. After falling off two cliffs in the past two years this bouy is leary about detecting around them unless I lose a bit more weight and don't go near them after a rain shower....da!

Default There is a lot to be said about the banks!

Hi Folks!

There's a lot to be said about hunting the banks of swimming holes, and also the trails leading to them.
Think about it for a moment: Folks sometimes pitch a blanket on the banks, or are taking clothes off and putting them back on.
Sometimes they do this on the fly for obvious reasons, and goodies will go flying everywhere!
So far this year, all of my ring finds have been at swimming holes, on the banks.
You wouldn't believe how much coinage is scattered on the paths near the banks.
One spot was the jackpot! I couldn't go more than a few feet without hitting coins.
And wouldn't you know it, there was a beautiful, Sterling silver ring just under the surface on the bank.

HH! -Tom
