WILLOW LAKE pool/ ADD 3 More HOURS TODAY.

[jeff of pa]

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.

? ?

? ? ? ? ? ?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.

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

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.

? ? ? ? ? ? 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
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

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.

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? : Searching Cemeteries May Be Illegal for Most.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? And You May also Get "HAUNTED" doing it on HALLOWEEN?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 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?

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
