Back in 1998, I got the Privlege Of Being the First & Only Person allowed to Search A Swimming Area EVER

I didn't keep COMPLETE Records Back then But With My whites 6000-D detector, Once I started Keeping Records, I Found over $80.00 in 16 Days, Many Gold & silver Rings, Silver Coins,Etc.
? My Best Day "RECORDED THERE"? 204 coins .

? 1999 was the last Time I searched it & only Once with My Sovereign. I Did Find a 14K Gold Pearl Ring that day.

? ?Back Then I DIDN'T DIG FOIL READINGS.

AFTER they Had the DANCE HALL/ SKATING RINK torn Down, They Removed The Fence Surrounding the place, and Others Have SNUCK in and Searched Without Permission. I know this, Because When I saw Others searching, I would Stop to Talk & ask.

? ? ?I sent a Letter Last Friday to the Owner, Asking IF I could Give It another Try Stating, That I know Others Do Without Permission, and I Cannot Do That & asked If I could SEARCH Again.

? ? ? I recieved Permission Letter Today.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?HIS EXACT WORDS :

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?"GO AHEAD, GOOD LUCK. GOLD BULLION WE SPLIT"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? & his Signature.

? ? ;D ;D ;D ;D

? ? ? ? ? ?Place Was Swimming LAKE during Summer & ICE LAKE for Making & Selling ICE in the 1870's

and later Became PUBLIC SWIMMING pool.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?NOW all I need Is Good Weather? :(

PICS ARE POOR, First one Shows Place when it as a Natural Lake.

Great haul Jeff glad to see you could stand the weather, I'm still waiting, at this point I think my wait will be till next year with the forecast the way they are. Why so they call it a Lake, did it dry up or did they drain it for some reason? HH stay warm. :)
Mchamby

? ? ? ? ? ? at This Point There Calling For MID 50's Thursday Upper 50's Friday, & 60 Saturday & Sunday., Still a Week away But I may Give Thursday a try If that wind Stops.

? It Used to Be a Natural Lake in the 1870's , Sometime in The Early part of the 20th. Century They Converted it to A Swimming Pool. and? in the late 80's they Closed it & Filled it in.

Re: I have To Split / UPDATE 3 Hour Hunt.

Hmm, Jeff my 1st thought was the tag might have been a clothing check tag for when you changed into a swimsuit and they kept the clothes and towel in a basket. ???
 

Re: I have To Split / UPDATE 3 Hour Hunt.

Yeah...cold and windy....but....was it worth it?! ;)

You bet! It would have been for me!!

Great finds! Congrats!

;)
 

Re: I have To Split / UPDATE 3 Hour Hunt.

Stoney That's What I'm Thinking Too, Clothing Or Entrance Tag, But Like I said, It appears Blank.


Nana, Yep It was worth it, & I Have A Feeling If it Don't Hit Mid 50's This week, I'll be out there in the 40's, Trying to Stay Warm ;D
COLD RAIN is the Only Thing That will Keep me away For Shure.
I had the Sniffels All the way home Today.
 

Re: I have To Split / UPDATE 3 Hour Hunt.

I could easily be wrong on the tag. It looked like yours had a number on it like mine. I dug mine around the base of a telephone pole. And thought perhaps it was to the pole what a date nail is to the railroad tie. But for all I know it could be a hat check token. HH
 

Re: I have To Split / UPDATE 3 Hour Hunt.

Congrats on the silver! Dress warmer, long underwear etc. I'll detect as long as it isn't frozen, I might just squeeze 3 more months before this season is over. HH, Mike

HE-HE-HE :D

The one Woman Came out today & dug a Piece of her Grass Up, in a Line about 4 foot long,
As to Mark her Territory I Think. ;D

Worked For Me, Because I wasn't Even Going Back that far.

NOW I KNOW I can get Closer to her Property ;)

I'm Still Using the Sovereign Out there Because I have a WOT coil for it.

I will Be using the EXPLORER TOMORROW at the? Restored Cemetery in the Woods, In Williamstown For my HALLOWEEN HUNT.
? ? ? When I helped The Church Restore it, I hammered the Site With My Sovereign / WOT.

So I figure Time to See IF the EXPLORER will Find more.

Pinpointing Has Gotten Almost Perfect for me Now Tho.


? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?DISCLAMER? ;D : Searching Cemeteries May Be Illegal for Most.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? And You May also Get "HAUNTED" doing it on HALLOWEEN? ;D
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? However The Catholic Church, Has given me Permission in the Past,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Because I Turn all Cemetery Related Items over to them.
? ? ? ? The People buried In the Cemetery Have Never Tapped Me on the Back either
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?AND SAID
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?"HAY DON'T SEARCH HERE"? ?;)

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?MABY TOMORROW? ;D

? ? ? ? ? JEFF

I'm really glad that I was wrong about the trash/treasure ratio. That ring looks like one that I found a few years ago. Never did find out what the stone was. WTG!! HH! Chris

I hammered this site in '98 & there Wasn't ALOT of trash then.

At that Time, They Were Just Starting to Dismantle the Place & an Elderly Woman Came By who said It was Her Job as A young Girl, To Walk around & pick up Every Piece of Trash she Could Find.
I TOLD HER THEN, she did an Excellent Job ;D
