Hey Siegfried, how ya doin'? Well all healed up and the river is finally almost down to where I can start working it again. Now if these rains would let up for about two weeks...
P.M.'ed Mike with local info on Construction/roadwork where I've been making some decent finds lately. Yep, we were recently on the beach (North Ave) and the kid found her first class ring. Been to all the lost ring sites, posted notes here and there, called the school and the alumni association and located the only people with the name matching the ring initials from that year to no avail. Hopefully we can locate this guy, this year the ring owner's class is having their 20th reunion so it would be good to get it returned.
Hey Mike, Siegfried is right, Chicago beaches are great places to hunt, until about 10:00 a.m. One time my daughter was literally mugged by a mob and she was about 8 yrs old at the time. I went in swinging and almost took a few heads off but came out with the kid and the equipment. That was a rare situation where a bunch of two legged animals hit the beaches early. But there's lots of others hunting there from first light on into the early a.m. with no problem.
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin has well defined rules for MD'ing there but Bigfoot Beach State Park, that tiny strip of sand next to the roadway out into the water at about chest deep is one gold generating and cash making machine, per those who have worked it before. Check with the ranger there before going at it as well as Wisconsin DNR.
