Gold in the water with Tesoro Lobo

[Indian Steve]

Howdy All, Went to a local park swimming hole today with my Lobo. I've been wanting to get into the deeper water to hunt but was afraid of getting my box wet. Last year, I hung it around my neck but had some close calls almost falling in the water. My wife picked up a floating cooler at Goodwill a while back so I took my box off, put it in the cooler, zipped it shut and went out in the chest deep water. I was running in all metal a digging everything. I got 13 bobby pins, 2 barretts, 1 paper clip, 3 pennies, 3 dimes, 2 nickles, 1 quarter, and a 14 kt gold wedding ring that weighs 3.2 grams. Box stayed nice and dry. I stayed cool and wet. steve

Hey congrats on the gold! And awesome way to keep the MD dry!
I recently took up water hunting here in TX because of the heat. Man it's a different game trying to swing and scoop in the water

It sure is fun trying to scoop in 4 foot of water. I have a long handled scoop that I wired a magnet into the back for them $&^%#@!!! bobby pins. It seems like it took 10 or more tries to get a bobby pin but the ring came up in the first scoop.

Thanks Terry, It even has can holders. I put a Gatorade bottle in one holder to hold my rare and valuable bobby pins and other goodies. I am using the 10 x 12 deepseeker coil with extra long cord. Cooler just follows along behind me. Love it. steve
