The Southwest Michigan Seek & Search Club had their spring hunt.
Pre hunt was at a field where there used to be two farm houses. My keepers were 2 Indians 1887, and 1892 and a nice crotal bell not in pic.

Next we were back at the campground for an evening seeded hunt. 24 people were in search for 3 tokens, but there were also Buffs, V's and old foriegn coins planted. Here is my take. 1937 buff, 1904 V, and foriegn coins are 1952, 1923, 1918, 1918.

The next day we had breakfast followed by a church service , then a kids hunt with 12 kids. At noon we had a potluck with over 60 people and then the two main hunts. I did pretty good, but I was using a machine I had never used and 3/4 the way through the first hunt I realized I was in all metal and wasted about 5 minutes digging junk! GRRRRRR!!! Would have likely got several more coins.

Besides my coins here is a pic of my daughter and I, and a group pic. What a great weekend!

Looks like you all had a fun time and excellent weather to boot. :thumbsup: Love those green 1800's IH's. Sweet haul of coins, Mike. Nice to see how many youngsters you had participating this year.

The pile of coins from the 3rd pic are the ones I found on Sunday in our two hunts.

The two Indians are from a pre-hunt site where we just searched for what was there. The rest are from our club seeded hunt.
