After seeing so many super finds lately I wasn't sure I should post.
Met up with a college girlfriend and hunted a playground near her house $1.40 in clad and a 1910 Wheatie. Also found our first token: Golf n Games (found by The Big Girl.) Next we went to what is allegedly the "oldest standing schoolhouse in Michigan" on some state land but encountered a large group of people and their horses/dogs there. We decided to wait for a less busy time and went to a nearby picnic area to search. Found lots of pull tabs, a few square nails, bottle caps, and more clad. I noticed a large group of lilacs as well as walnut trees and immediately thought "old homestead." We searched the area where we guessed the home might have been but didn't find much. Could spend more time there.
MDing with kids means frequent food/bathroom breaks so I'm sure we don't make as good time as some of you commandoes. While we didn't find any silver or the hoped for IH, we had a great time, good exercise, perfect weather, and lots of laughs. And tons of good pinpointing practice.
Found a different type of clad as well:GymnoCLADus dioecious seed pods
While these might be a common find down south, up here in MI these trees are pretty rare. We are on the northern edge of their range.
Best catch of the day was my camera shy adolescents caught horsing around. Engarde!
Thanks for looking and HH.
