You heard right, April 22, 2018 I found a nice little 14K Gold ring, my buddy Dave however found a killer 17 gram 22K Gold Coin (1976 Canadian Commemorative Coin). We both use Whites TDI S/L. It was about 5-6 inches down, a little beat up from rocks but a keep for sure.

Ran across this article today. Pure Gold Awaits Anyone Who Recovers Michigan's Lost Mine I look for forums on here that talk about but didn’t see any. So sorry if this was already mentioned. Secondary question, I will only be miles away from the “lost mine” camping on the Ausable soon. Has...

Legends of Lost Mines – The Lost Pegleg - 1892 W.P.A. Mural - San Francisco A considerable amount of romance attaches to all stories of lost mines. It could not well be otherwise, as the mines spoken of as “lost” are almost invariably in some wild region full of perils of onekind or...

I found this excerpt that I saved to my hard copy files several years ago and had forgotten about. If the $17,000 was all gold, the treasure would be valued today at over $1 million in gold melt value alone, not to mention the numismatic value of the coins if the gold was in coin form. I don't...
