I have found a lot of artifacts over the years (some years being better than others). I cannot begin to count the number of rusty signals I have unearthed only to discover a hammer or saw or tobacco tin. Thousands of holes. Countless hours spent roaming the Northern Michigan forests and fields. Well today I finally stumbled upon one...I don't think I will ever find a nicer one either.
