After finding the nice Canadian yesterday, I made it a point to get back to the grove this morning.I picked my way through an awful lot of wine bottle caps and found only clad and a few wheats.I started to make my way down the hill toward a single old oak tree when I realized I had lost the nut for my arm cuff.I set my detector down as I Mcguivered it back into working order and when I picked it back up....Bam...It was sitting on a nice quarter signal.Now from my experience so far this morn, that would be a large melted glob of aluminum, but I gave the plug a nice wide girth nonetheless.Good thing.......as I removed the plug what falls from the bottom but a beautiful silver....my first walking quarter. I gathered myself together after a tearful moment and swept the immediate area finding only several more wine bottle caps.At that point I was a little pressed for time and headed out to do some post Christmas shopping.
After shopping I decided to hit the up-river beach.The water was very low there but the exposed lake bottom had been picked clean.After about 45 minutes I had found one thin dime....not even any trash.OK...seeing as Im there, I head up the bank and hit the picnic area for a bit.Now in this area Im getting some hits but they are real deep and big like there is trashy fill under the grass.I dig a few pieces of junk and then, about ten inches down I pull up this awesome sterling baby spoon.Its got a pre International (Simpson,Hall,Miller) hallmark....very cool, and about ten ft from there I dig a silver plated baby spoon at about the same depth. Ok , its about dark now and as i head for the truck I turn the disc all the way up and swing away.About 50 ft from shut down I get a $ signal.Im game so I dig up some of the soft soil, feel around in the dirt and come up with three quarters and a Kennedy half all in the same hole.....this day should last forever! I tell ya ,hunting Michigan in December just feels good! Best of luck to all....heres the pics....Joe
