Anyone know of any beaches in Michigan that has a history of gold and silver coins that wash up on shore during storms. Joe t.

This is such a "tempting" thread ... heh :P

Um... Well I will say this ... because I just cannot help myself...
#1. IF... I repeat IF... there was any such "history"... the coins that WERE there are now named the same as the "history".

#2... there is only number 1 :P

Btw... Welcome to Tnet.

welcome joe !! It would be more likely that coins,rings etc dont really"wash up"on shore during storms as a rule.They are exposed or concentrated by storm erosion often in areas refered to as,"cuts".Detect these areas as soon as possible because a bunch of guys know this.here are some storm cuts

.... ....

when the sand is moved away the heavy items are left behind.I may not be describing it the best but I hope you get the gist...

Where are these coin-filled "cuts" you ask? Well, we won't tell you. You'll have to find them just like we did.

bigfoot gives a good answer . I would add that :

1) In addition to cuts , you also look for abnormal/steep slopes & scallop shapes .

2) coins come in with spring summer buildup , but that's never as good as an overnight washout .
