Some recent relics..........
Some were found in CT and some here in MI.
The CT relics: Clay pipe stem, small ring (might not be for finger), canteen cap, brass wedge for axe, colonial flat button, and brass curved ??.
Michigan finds: 1800's lock, gold plated cuff link, suspender buckle, and a beautiful victorian brooch.

Re: Some recent relics..........
Excellent finds Mike I like that old broach, last year on a Sunday I was out there detecting on the Dickman road project and there was a guy and his wife there, he worked for the excavating company that was doing the road project and had access to a whole bunch of excavator's that were in the area. He dug up an old cistern with the machine and him and his wife were having a field day there. They managed to get a complete clay pipe and by this time I had a mercury dime and offered it in trade (just joking around) to his wife for the pipe.....LOL! You would've had to be there to believe the finds they made.

Mine is not made for big iron. I do have a friend in the club that does though. I might ask him?
