This was staring up at me from the murk of the Gorge. And the scary thing is I think I can remember buy one similar to this for my son back in 89.
I changed locations today and boy did I pick a hard spot to try and wade in. The sucking muck was at least afoot deep with every step so I didn't last long on the water.
However I did manage to pull a few things out.
Sadly the Whyte & Mackay Glasgow bottle is broken.
The lead is building up again. The bottle is to show size.
The brass is ever present as you would expect.
And once in a while I get a surprise in the scoop.Like this magnifier.
Or this little tusker.
But the real surprise today was 2 rocks. The larger one set off the pinpointer while it was in the sifter. Right where the middle of the quartz X is and the smaller one well that is a different story.
The Excal went nuts over it and so did the pinpointer. Can home and ran it by the CTX and got a solid 12/40 with a sweet high tone.
