You have some guts detecting Detroit if thats where you were. Ever do Belle Isle? I heard it is off limits. (your pictures did not show up by the way)

I've done some pretty bad areas in my town and have never had any problem, just curiosity mostly. Its a good idea I think to have a partner for those spots though. congrats on scoring a couple of IH's though....would like to see the pics.

Way to go Fats. You have a nose for what's goin' on at old spots around town.

It is a little uneasy hunting the inner city Im pretty sure I seen at least three drug deals in one area next time Ill have to find some one to bring also this was not Detroit it was Grand Rapids

You have bigger coils than I! Congrats on the finds. Tons of untapped resources there!

I live in Windsor ON Canada across the river from Detroit. I am over there at least once a week visiting friends in the 'burbs and have to drive through Detroit. I would love to hunt some of those old burned out areas but alas I do not carry a gun. Man there were some old, once beautiful areas that are pretty scary now.

Hey Fats, nice Indians. I love them from the 70's. That kinda looks like a 73 to me. WTG. hh dan

[muleskinner]

I'll hunt G.R. with you, two is safer then one.

[padlock]

Detroit is not bad, all depends on where you go

[warthog]

I live in "the burbs" north of detroit. im still tryin to figure out what detecter i want. i had one in middle school (12 years ago) and i found all kinds of cool stuff. but it was cheap and broke. so im getting back into it. but I'd be all up for hunting the D. top of my list would be fort wayne, and a site on the border that used to be a civil war VA clinic til it burned down.

Nice Indian Heads! congratulations! Keep hitting it. I would bet there is silver there somewhere.

MC Mich, When did you hear Belle Isle was off limits? Just curious, I was there last year and nothing was ever said to me. There may have just been way to many poor homeless souls and drug dealers to worry about one lonely metal detectorist.

Fort Wayne is still open and has an operating guard shack. The man working the shack when I went through there gave me a number to call for a tour but, was not too sure they would allow metal detecting. (Being operational and on the historic registry)

Happy hunting!

[warthog]

if you find any info on fortwayne let me know. thatd be awesome to go hunt their. im a vet myself.

Congrats on the Indians!

I grew up in GR. Well, as much as I ever grew up anyway.

I've thought of hunting there whenever I go down to visit, but just never got a handle on where to go.

Good Luck!
