Hairy knuckles don't bother me. I would rather see pictures of the coins. Must have been a exciting
couple of days. Nice finds!

Just noticed that. Well, maybe a bunch of little finds then :)
If I found a john deere farm tractor on the bottom of the lake then I guess that would be a pretty big find !
As far as the coin pics. I already rolled all the nickels, dimes and quarters. The only other decent coin was the Franklin half but that was not so hot looking. The cents look real bad and needed a good soaking. I have started rolling those ugly fugly's. Should fill a $25.00 bank box. The other coins were pretty ugly also. I can imagine the look on the tellers face when she/he cracks one of these rolls open.
One time I brought some MD find cent rolls to my bank and the teller was suspicious (gee, I wonder why ? :) and she opened up two of them and told me that she could not give these out to customers. I was polite and stated that they were legal U.S. tender. She was not happy with that statement. She then said that she could not really take these coins. I told her to just send them back to the fed.
No comment.

So, were there any silver coins besides the Franklin?

No, not a one. I know that place well and if
they had drained down another 6 ft. or so then
there would of been a lot of silver coins.
The water is already almost back up to normal level.

I have just got an older White's Eagle Spectrum from a 93 year old friend of mine. It is pristine
and I cannot wait to be able to use it.

I am thinking of places to scan after I get the jest of it and my current church grounds come to mind.
They are mainly grass covered and there have been a lot of people on them over the last 50 or 60 years.

In addition, I doubt anyone has scanned the property.
