Welcome to the hobby. I started this year as well. I've been going mostly to Pontiac State Park. There, I've found a lot of clad, my first gold, my first (and 2nd, 3rd, & 4th) silver, a couple of rings, some interesting smaller relics, and about a zillion pounds of trash.

I've also hit some local township parks, with limited success. I do have a really cool spot that I got permission to hunt: An 1850's train depot. Problem is, the whole area is loaded with iron ore rocks, it's right next to an electric substation (lots of interference) and the digging is incredibly hard (packed gravel over decomposed asphalt over more packed gravel.)

Good luck and happy hunting.

Wow You have alot of history in that place....all those first fur traders etc.....I would definitely get down to the library and search old trade routes,settlements etc and then go dig them.,....

The first settlers in Macomb County were located in Harrison and Erin townships. These townships were settled between 1758 and 1800 by the French and the Tucker family. Clinton Township was settled between 1782 and 1800 by the Moravians and Judge Clemens, as well as the French. Armada, Macomb, Lenox, Shelby, Washington and Bruce Townships were settled in 1820-1840 by people from New York state, Vermont and other eastern states. Chesterfield Township had French settlers by the date of 1796 and gradually by 1845 influx of German settlers began in most of the Macomb County communities.

thanks for all the replys.

gypsyheart thanks for the site but this area has been turned into alot of shopping malls (wal-marts, kmarts) n alot of subdivsion so theres not many areas to hunt which is what im looking for so i might get lucky to find some of that great pass.

mr.steve from mich thanks for writing i would like get together next year im from chesterfield (next to sel. air base) so theres so distance but i still would like it very much. i usually either go out by myself or to the beach or park with the wife n kids (i hunt they play in the park) so i would be nice to get out with another hunter.

thanks again for all the replys n hh to all

Treasure Atlas Number 5.

Macomb County

Located near the greater Gratiot school on the E edge of the lot on Gratiot Ave, just north of Roseville, is a suspected cache of treasure. 2 old guns were accidently found here several years ago. It is presumed that the treasure was buried by a band of outlaws who operated in this area long before the school was built.
