Hey all,

Got out with my buds Jim & Rick today. We went back to Belle Isle. Its our 1st Group Hunt of the Year.

Anyway...searched for about 7 hours.

Amidst all the pulltabs, bottlecaps, trash...etc...still managed to have a decent outing.

Found 61 Coins Total.

Got 49 Clad for $4.29

24 Pennies, 2 Nickels, 12 Dimes, 11 Quarters.

Actually 4 Quarters, 1 Dime, & 1 Nickel stacked on top of one another.

Found 3 Canadian Coins; 2 Pennies & 1 Dime.


Made 9 Good Finds:

6 Wheat Pennies: 21, 42 (2), 48S, 52D, 57D
1903 Indianhead Penny
1943 Mercury Dime
1947 Roosevelt Dime...In the same hole as a 1960 Memorial Penny!


Man oh man...thought for a minute I had found a GOLD COIN!!!

Check out a few of the pics...this little gold looking thingy is about the size of a dime. Flopped out looking about as bright as it does in the pic. Have no idea what it is, but it does have some weight to it for such a little thing.

Also some sort of junk ring with a blue stone.


Jim and Rick each managed 15-20 Wheats.

Rick got a 1944 Mercury Dime
Jim scored a "FULL LIBERTY" 1911 Barber Dime


All and all...a decent outing.

Nice pendant! Thats a fantastic find :icon_thumright:
 

The new revanped site does not have your photos to view & would have like to have seen. Sounds like you guys had a fantastic time and a very successful hunt as well, WTG!

They are awesome finds looking at the photos now.
 

Congrats on a good hunt! WTG on the silver and IH. Interesting pendant, too. :thumb_up:

Like the pendent nice find , can't beat the sliver Congrats.
 

Not a bad haul there. Never been to Belle Isle. And unfortunately, the only way to hunt it..or ANY Detroit location is in a group or armed.
 

Sweet digs!! That Gold looking thing is very cool. Congrats
 

Does the pendant have any markings or some way to ID it? Would like to know more about it.
 

Nice digs! WTG!
 

Kind of funny you mentioned it Diggit...I had a gun in each pcoket. LOL.

Thanks everyone else for the replies.

@Famliy Fun...there is NO MARKINGS at all on the piece. Actually kind of hollow on the reverse.
