Wish I could get one or two of the lakes around here drained, I think I would just sh!!!t my pants.
With what I have recovered in the water just going up to my neck it would be a dream to work the next twenty feet out.

Ring #24 Sterling vintage....BEAUTY....this picture does it no justice. The amethyst stone looks so much better in person. The flash took away it's color. There's a merc and a toasty wheat under the ring. Only 6 silver coins this year. 28 wheats!

You are kicking A** this year. Congrats on all the finds. One year I hit 10,000 coins. That's a lot of digging!
I'm in England doing some detecting over here. 3 hammered silver so far with lot's of other stuff. Oldest coin so far on this trip is from the 1300's. Wish you all were here to share in the fun!
