Found a fur traders cabin

[mk4125]

I headed out into the dense Michigan forest and kept along the high ground while following an old stream bed. I hit an area on a small plateau and started hitting targets. The area appears to be an old trappers shack site (lots of square nails and spikes). I only had an hour of light left so dug the easy targets. A silver cross, lead whizzers, pocket knife, button, and...a lead coin?!??

Amazing finds! Love that cross. I'm sure you'll be back there soon with more time to explore that spot. Pretty sure there's more there.

Neat finds. The lead token thingy looks a lot like an ancient widow's mite:

looking for one of those for years. The best one's on private property and even I can't get there.

Congrats!
