I was reciently reminded of the times I used to spend almost every day of summer diving at the local lake. I would dive off the diving boards and dig in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake. I used to find silver coins all the time. I also found like 8 or 9 rings and several clad coins. I wish the park was still open, I would like to try just one more time. I guess the lake was open from the early twenties to the late eightys. It was a spot on the Erie Canal before that.
I used to tube down the local river every day during the summer and would alway carry my snorkel. I'd find everything from soda cans to tackle boxes but rarely found any money.
I used to dive down the lazy river in splashtown, and get all the change I can find. I found a diamond ring last time I was there... And about $4 in change... That was about 4 years ago.. EDIT: Earring not ring
Ahhhhh, the earring made me rich... YOU GOT ME! LOL I just save up for large amounts of time And get $50 for all A's on my report card.. (4 grading periods this year, and I got all A's on each grading period) It is kinda easy being at home though, missed 100+ days, being sick, and that had a big reason to do with All A's, EVERYTHING WAS OPEN BOOK, or I could use my resources that I have at home (internet) so half the time I was online at cointalk during school hours, I was doing my homework as well (The other half was the procrastination of English homework...) LOL
LOL. My problem is that there wasn't any Internet when I went to the public schools. In fact I got my two Bachelor degrees with no Internet either. I don't think there was even personal computers then. But I DID have a ballpoint rock.
Way, way back I used to work with a bunch of, sort of drinkers, in the downtown area of Chicago. At lunch we used to go to a place called Zimmermans for beer and lots of it. We sat along the Chicago River, drank our lunch and almost every day one or more of us would throw coins in the River. Used to try to throw across the thing and never did. That went on for many years. Sure is a lot of coins down there. However, if you've ever been to Chicago and looked into that River you would know that no one will ever try to find coins on the bottom of that thing.
