Howdy all,
Spent a couple hours in the water today and had a great time. The weather yesterday was awesome and the beaches were packed. Today started out overcast and chilly so I had the place all to myself. For as many people who were in the water yesterday you would think there would be more targets. I was gettin lots of clad but nothin spectacular for about the first 45 minutes or so. Then bam I get this nice 14k white gold band. It weighs in at 3.2 grams. As soon as I see it in my scoop 2 kids decide to see what I got. I real slick like slip it on my finger and tell em it musta been a fishin weight that slipped through the scoop. Too many times I have had people try to hustle me outta my finds. So spillin a little B.S. is always better than braggin. Now for the exciting part. One of the things you never want to see in your scoop is a live 50 cal round. I couldn't help but think I was just kicking a steel scoop at this thing right next to my feet. Well since I had no way to dispose of it, we called the cops. I figured they could come get it so I wouldn't have to drive it across town to them. They showed up about 30 minutes later thinkin we didn't know what we had. When I handed it over the lady cop acted like it was gonna blow her up. I kinda snickered. I know it was safe unless its misshandled or your kickin a metal scoop at it. Anyway I told her I gridded the area and didn't find anymore, but she was not assured. She said marine patrol would be notified and a diver might be sent to the area to look for more. We sent pics to my brother and he said it looked like military ammo to him. The lake is right next to one of the Fort Lewis gunnery ranges, and you hear em shootin 50's all the time. So I had a great day with a little gold and a little excitement. Thanks for lookin, and luck in the hunt.
