My best day ever turns into my best weekend ever!!

[ringding]

I went metal detecting all weekend on a swimming beach on Lake Allatoona northwest of Atlanta. The water levels were waaaay down. Also, A lot of the beach sand had been washed into the lake due to heavy rain. My first find was a 1940 silver quarter. Then I found a civil war bullet, a gold ring and 3 silver dimes. I didn't realize it at the time because the dime was dirty, but one was a 1945 winged liberty dime. I also found 16 clad quarters, 15 clad dimes, 3 nickles and 41 pennies. This was the best day of my metal detecting career in 11 years!

The next day I went to a different swimming beach on the same lake and then back to the same one. I found 12 quarters, 11 dimes, 4 nickles, and 16 pennies. Three of the dimes were silver, one was a 1939 winged liberty dime. Two of the pennies were wheats. I found a silver earring, a zippo lighter, some type of token, a cross, a bullet (civil war?) and a bracelet charm.

This was by far my best weekend ever. Pics below.

Do you guys realize that I scored from all four main types of treasure? A civil war relic, jewelry, old silver coins, and lots of clad (from the same area).

Really nice bunch of finds,looks like you had a blast,Id be spending a lot more time at that lake. Is the lake down because of lack or rain? or do they lower it at certain times of the year? Ive been trying to research when certain lakes in my area are lowerd,but I havent had much luck, Ive been told they drop a lot of lakes in the winter so people can work on docks and such? Can anyone out there comment on this,maybe some of you water guys?

Smokin!! Yes, the realization was apparent - scoring in multiple categories. Any of the stuff deep? You were at the right place at the right time. I love when that happens.
