1700's fur trade rings from the eroding banks..

[mk4125]

There is a stretch of land in the back of our house and each year the rains slowly eat away at the bluff (which runs along the shores of Lake Michigan). Each year I lug the detector up the hill and "Billy Goat" my way along the steep slope. After making my way down the first gully I zipped right over a surface target. The signal was so clear that I thought it was definitely a shotgun head-stamp and the Garrett Carrot quickly proved me wrong by finding not one but TWO fur trade rings!! Rare stuff from when our country was just being settled.
