I was just reading some of it and found an article about a 9 year old kid that was playing in his yard and dug up a pile of gold and silver coins.This happened in 1937 in a town close by.now im wonderin what they missed as there werent no such thing as detectors at the time...and the search is on !!!!!

Cool articles there Terry. I have a friend of mine with a camp right on Geneganslet lake - So I have hit the shore of the old swimming hole - found some coins from the teens and twenties. I bet you'd find a bunch of jewelry and stuff out in the water.
I can't wait to get out troutin - only a little more than a month away-
I'll give ya a hollar come closer to spring. Maybe we could do some trout fishing and then some dirt fishing afterwards. I've got a few places lined up in Mcdonough I want to hit this year.
Catch ya later

I hit that swimmin hole this summer and found some clad.I can remember when i was a kid we would throw coins off the dock that used to be there and then try to dive for em.Got to be some good stuff in the water.Also did you know that there are numerous old dumps in the woods around that lake?We used to find some nice stuff there.There were a lot of old ruby red beer bottles.HH..Terry
