So I figured since I'm getting older and I probably won't ever be back that way, I am going to share the location of some of my best finds in my detecting life.
From Indian cents, seated coins, Canadian fish scales..old nickels. Tiny!
Morgans, walkers etc.
Tootsie toys galore!
Marbles and one of the biggest bottle dumps ( now covered over ) in the area.
I've found just about every thing you can think of in this place.

It is just around the corner from where I grew up in Oak Park, Michigan.
A large wooded area and larger open space attached to what was then Best Junior High School.
I went there.
You'll have to research the new name as I know it was changed.
There is a wooded area next to Jackson Elementary school a few blocks away that has yielded similar results.
The new addition on the old junior high school was built in the late 80's sometime.
When they dug the footer, the whole area was four feet thick of broken glass, bottles, dishes, crocks just about anything metallic.
All of the Victory glass candy containers that I ever found came from there.

I hope you go and find some good stuff.
Its worse than the iron pit that is my mothers yard.
The whole site was a dump.
Though in 1979 up through about 1990 it yielded over a thousand silver coins.

Best of luck!

That is extremely unselfish of you to share like this, Zakon. Thank you
