I have said it before, but LC's in Michigan are hard to come by. Settlers didn't start in lower Michigan until the 1830's and it took years to get a good population going. I found 2 LC's last year and was pretty content with that. I have been on a pretty good roll and had 3 LC's so far this year. That is until last evening when a little of my winter research payed off on an old homesite. This one is a field site and I wanted to get to it before the field got planted. Earlier yesterday we hit an old homesite and didn't dig much but I pulled an 1889 IHP at the last second. After returning home I decided I wanted to hit another site and chose this one. I actually have a picture (drawing) of this homesite and know that the house was built in 1838 and was gone by the 1870's. The owner was fairly prominent and I had high hopes that I could get a good coin or two out of this one. Anyway, I got a few relics as well but the coins are as follows... 1817, 1828, 1832 (stamped T.B.), 1837 LC's and an 1844 Canadian Halfpenny Token. Thanks for looking!

that would fall into my dream hunt category as well. LC's are almost non-existant in my neck of the woods.

Thanks Keith! I love these late hunts. I dig mainly sound now and only check my screen occassionally and I don't have to worry about all of the onlookers when I am trying to concentrate. The weather was perfect last night and I had a blast. Now off to the next one but it may have to wait until this weekend?!?

Research can definitely pay off and I hope some of the other sites I am working towards will do the same.

I forgot to add this relic picture from the finds. It is an old spicket with a different design than I have seen before.
