Boom!! Beautiful! Love the lay out picture also!

I do have one similar from last year and until March 13-15 2020 then storm came thru...gone..covered. Weird very little silver, reason..they had to wear the beach's bathing suits to swim there. Just about the same period as yours...This one was to the left of a newer beach..

Amazing yours is in a lake and no one had hit it before!! A good chance there are others...I know there are more here...

Love all the brass beach tags to..

your finds have always been impressive - miss seeing the photos on ringdaddy site
i'm on the hunt for another site - wish we had those big gold laden beaches that MD has
so for me its these lake beaches- older the better
there out there but its a matter of tracking them down

That's alot of targets in a short span. You don't even need a detector. A shovel and floating sifter is all.
 
:dingding::dingding::dingding: That's 3 dinger worthy! :wow: I could never imagine what it would be like to have a virgin, undetected old site like that would be. CONGRATS!
