Old Fishing Camp Spill

[WawaDuane]

I've been checking out a few old fishing camps around Lake Superior. The Booth Co. used to fish around this area..I guess they fished in Canada as well as the US. I did find a lead net weight with their name on it (not pictured). So I guess I found one of their camps.

Historic Isle Royale Fisheries

Assorted junk.





Boat pieces I assume?








Cool pocket watch.



A fine collection of clad...mostly American, the AT Max loves US coins.













Finally the spill....a weird signal that turned out to be pretty awesome. My first silver coin of the 2019 season and my third spill I've found in three years in the month of the October. I guess the American fishermen dropped a few coins...thanks.






I guess I'll be returning to this site...there's also some indication that it might be a little older than I first thought.
