Hi all,
Hope everyone is staying warm? Got up to the mid 30s today, so compared to -10 from last week, it's a heat wave! I've been chomping at the bit to get out swinging somewhere, anywhere, for a while now. Today I had the chance to scope out about 20 miles of Lake Michigan coastline to try and find someplace accessible. Normally by this time of year there is so much ice and snow built up along the shore it would be like scaling n ice shelf just to get to water too deep to hunt.
But today I got lucky and found a somewhat more sheltered beach, and located an access point to the water which was only knee deep at that point. Yes! Grabbed my stuff and jumped in. Unfortunately this area must get pounded during the summer because in an hour or so of swinging I only got one signal which turned up a penny. Not even so much as a pull tab or bottle cap the rest of the hunt.
But then I hear yelling and see a uniformed cop waving at me. Ok, so I scramble up to the top of the beach, and the cop tells me they had a call that someone was out swimming in the lake! Then another cop pulls up and comes over to question me too. But the first cop finally figured out I was metal detecting and was in full cold water gear, and not actually swimming. Good grief! Apparently cop #2 didn't quite understand so I had some 'splainin to do. They both ended up taking down all my info and explained they had to file reports why there wasn't going to be a psych eval needed this time.
By this time I figured I had enough grief for one day and just headed hope before one of the local cops did decide to keep me in a ward for observation. Sorry that there's no finds to show, but hope a couple scenery photos will do for today. Thanks for reading!
