I bet you could find a lot of things around piers and boat docs.

ya but the one thing you wont find is visability

Lucky, Lake George has some great visibility but, as soon as you started fanning around you loose it for a while. So, instead of fanning the bottom, I scoop it away and recheck to see if I grabbed it, if not keep scooping until I did, and then shake the scoop and wait for the outcome. Worked well with out clouding up the water to bad.
I used a plastic straight lip scoop but, should have brought my metal round lip scoop to be able to dig better. Lesson Learned

I was just at Roger's Rock on Sunday. My buddy found a $10 bill lying on the bottom, so there is money to be found in Lake George!

LOL, Matt I wish it was that easy for me. I have not ventured up to RR yet other than for day picnic with the wife. I hear its has some nice cliffs and boulders up there. Next year will check it out.

A friend of mine is pretty good at this, both UW and surface (he also is a dealer).

Some of the higher end units can differentiate between coins and gold and trash (more than simple sensitivity controls).

Pretty nice. He recommended Whites to us. My 15yr. old has a non waterproof Lonestar and it works well enough, but he's ready to move up.

A lot of treasure finding is skill. Know where to look and how to separate the trash from treasure just by the quality of the signal.

This al sounds like a bit of fun I will have to give it a go in the future
