I made it out for a few hours yesterday. I hit the edges this older reservoir in a neighboring town.
It’s funny what you can find in these places. This place has been a reservoir for like 100 years or more.
Although it was always a no trespassing kind of place until about a few years ago, you’ll often find evidence of where people were fishing, hunting and swimming from decades ago.
I dug these 6 wheat backs near an obvious swimming hole. It’s like they were dropped in acid forever!
I was able to get years of 1941 to 1956 off them.
The cigarette lighter is a 1940’s-1950’s Ronson Whirlwind. The lead based paint held up pretty good! Been looking to dig an old Zippo too.
I also got a couple clad quarters and some pennies that added to 53 cents!
