    Club Autumn Outing

    Our club (Michigan Treasure Hunters) has an Autumn Outing every year - this year was at a summer camp that used to be a lumber era town (1882 to 1892). Nothing but woods now, but the ground is full of iron from all the square nails, railroad parts, mill parts, etc. Our task was to find relics...

    Saturday Finds

    Hunted for several hours on Saturday morning with my brother and we both turned up some oldies. My brother found several wheats and 3 Indians - my take was 3 wheat cents (1911, 1913 and 1917), 4 Indians (1864, 1890, 1896 and 1902) and a 1926D Merc. Soil in that place is very easy on the coins...

    Thumbs-up to Minelab Service

    Back in December while out detecting an older farm house with my brother - my coil wire (at the coil) went bad - what a bummer! I recently got around to contacting Minelab service, got an immediate response with an RMA. Put it in the mail on a Monday and had a new replacement back on my machine...

    Back to Church

    Ran out to hunt for an hour and a half before dark Sunday night with my brother Tom and got lucky with a couple of keepers - 4 wheats including a nice 1909 V.D.B. and 2 worn Mercs - 1918 and 1919. Still lots of grass to go over at this place!

    Vacation Week

    Hunted locally for a few hours last Tuesday and got 2 Mercs ('39 and '42) as well as some wheaties.
