Holy Toledo Batman!!! Nice dime!!!

What is the ring made of?

Not sure, but it's heavy,

it may be silver, I have to clean it up yet to see if there's any markings,

gotta get me a "tester kit" for gold and silver!

Thanks for the praise guys,

I'm going back soon,

it's a local lake, and not been detected to death by anyone extremely experienced (evident by all the old finds I make in it) and at the depths they are found.

Thinking about taking my scuba gear with a detector into deeper water to see if there's some really good, and decent quantities of items in the deeper water

There was a HUGE "wooden dive platform" in/on the lake from around 1875 thru 1930s/40s with several points to dive from at several heights, and they charged a dime to use it for the day, so, I believe there's some good stuff to be found in deeper water

It just depends on the "sea-weed bed/s" and if they're too thick or not. Sometimes they're so bad that, you can't get to the good old stuff because of them

Will check it out, and keep you informed,

HH all,

Lonewolfe

Awesome finds Lonewolfe, that dime had to be pretty thrilling! Commendable report as well....DIIIIISMISSED! JO

That is to cool. The dime is great and the condition of the wheatie is unreal. Batman looks like he had better days. The Location of the old dive platform should be a good site. How deep is it where it used to be? The seawed is probably hiding a big perch or too for dinner so make sure ya got the spear gun Later. HH

LOL @ spear-gun and perch!

The highest point of the dive platform was 12' I beleive Float, and the depth of water is 15' where you jumped/dove.

The problem we have here in MI in lakes at 10 to 15 to 20 ft is with seaweed,

the crap grows every-where, and in massive thick clumps/areas on the lake bottoms.

That makes it hard to get at items with a detector because you get tangled up if it's too thick,

and believe me,

that's not fun while diving & holding detector, scoop, dealing with dive equipment, trying to swim, etc.

there's a LOT of good stuff in some of these lakes but,

trying to get it out of seaweed infested areas (in most lakes) has, and does prevent most from doing so.

That dime is awesome!! ?Thanks for all the info you included. ?It is nice to know more than just 'I found this at the lake'. ?Great finds.

 

[Nana40]

Great finds Lonewolfe!

Loved the description almost as much as the finds!

 

[Bavaria Mike]

Nice post and congrats on the old silver! HH, Mike

 

[lonewolfe]

Nice Dime & Cool Ring! The dive area sounds like a great spot if the weeds are not to bad. Do they make under water weed wackers?? LOL!

LOL!

I wish!
