Got in a couple of short hunts after I got back this week. The first was at little Tahoe beach. Finds were scarce as the lake is unseasonably cold right now and nobody's going in except the kiddies. I think the gas prices are having a huge effect on the tourism also.
Pulled $4.80 in clad, two gold crowns, a smashed penny from Chicago, a .45 WCF cartridge, an aluminum bracelet, a tent stake, a basketball needle and other random hardware. I find gold crowns at Tahoe every summer. Must be some rough-housing going on. They tested 16k and almost 4 grams, so about $145 in melt value.
The second spot I hit was a small grassy area at the local elementary school where I managed to locate $4.15 in clad, 3 rings, a bracelet, an earring and other junk jewelry, and a 1935 wheattie. The jewelry is all junk except for the thin 925 silver 'wave' ring. That makes 99 silvers ytd!
Okay, back at it now! Thanks fer lookin and good luck to all!
