<: I was hunting the grassy area of one of my regular city parks on the shore of Lake Michigan today when I spotted him wading the shore line about a 1/4 mile from me. I walk down the hill and across the beach and introduced myself. We talked for 10-15 minutes. He has been detecting for about 20 years, and had some interesting stories of find. He gave me hope that I will find my silver. He had not found much today, but had pulled out a WAR NICKEL in about 2' of water. I thought it was cool. His name was Jeff, and like the people on this site was friendly and helpful. I told him of a 100+ year old farm I have permission to hunt, but I was hunting the park today, because I wanted quantity (some clad). He said he would rather have quality, so if it doesn`t rain tomorrow, I`m going back to the farm.

And thanks to everyone on this site for being both helpful and friendly. |
