Labor Day plans?

[A#1]

Anyone got and cool plans for Labor Day?

I guess I'm flying solo, so i think I'll spend on evening beach mining, followed by a couple days camping and detecting in or around a 1900-1910 milltown. The town is kind of an obsessive interest to me. I just figured out the lay of it all there, and there's additional spots nearby. A 1950's roadside resort (gone), a late 1800's homestead (gone), and an abandonded (still mostly standing) state forest place.

All the places have given up some nice things in the past, and deserve more foot time.

Anyone else plan on treasure nerding Labor Day

Well, knowing roughly where you are, I wouldn't suggest joining the beach mining, unless you really want to. I'll probably be just too far away for a single evening. ....and no gold, lol. Charlevoix area is where I do that.

Once I get to the other place, you're welcome to join if you like. I'm not exactly sure where I'll be swinging the coil yet, gotta get there and see what's goin on the the hood. It's a place where there a bunch of old sites around a few campgrounds i stay at. I mean half a county by that. Grayling area.

Well, kinda stuck at work at the moment, and wasnt exactly planning for this......so gimme a couple hours to get a better grip on the conversation......but

I have a place near Charlevoix too. Honestly, I was gonna go there friday night and drop some crap off, the beach mining was just a way to kill a few hours before bed. Since I'm not into asking permission, there really isn't much for places to detect there. It's also something I dont really have to do.


For now, if you plan camping and detecting up north around Grayling this weekend.......we can work on some more details this evening. I'll be crashing in my truck too. Probably in a campground, possibly not.

Being that there's so many places we could go......what might interest ya?

There's homesteads, railroads, ghost towns, fishin sites, lumber camps, military, old tourism. Can't gaurantee you'll find much, but you could be in some spots you should.

For me its just about being outside weather I find any thing or not, I'm not picky at all, any of those places will be a good time to me.

 

[A#1]

Yeh, me too, and going to the interesting places in hopes I COULD find something.

This is most definately outside though, lol, and i nice place to be. You just have to get there to be able to know whats going on, and where you can go. I'm not being cryptic about that, you'll see what I mean.

What days do you have available?

 

[A#1]

Looks like I won't be able to make it there till Saturday, mid-day.
