Some finds at Metro Beach opening

[elusion]

For those of you in the Michigan Metro-Detroit area, I hit Metro beach this morning at 6am with about I'd guess 30 other detectorists for the opening day. For those not from the area, they open the beach up for metal detecting the day after labor day every year until the following spring.

Didn't do as good as I hoped, but not bad. This was my first time getting into the water and wading out with the other crazies in my 20 years of metal detecting. It was way more fun than I thought though you beach guys must be all muscle cuz I am SORE after swinging the detector in the water for 4 hours. (btw I think I was the only one with an XLT in the water.. haha)

Some of the usual clad coinage plus a '41 wheatie. Add to that a pewter angel pendant and a gold cross that says "705" and "22 VI" as far as I can tell. Not sure if its gold or not, but it sure looks like it.

HH,

Nice finds at Metro beach. I hit Stoney Creek this year and arrived about 10:30 AM when most everyone was leaving. It was pretty barren at first but I saved 2 nickels, 2 clad quarters and to small gold crosses that would fit thru the holes in my scoop from the archaeologists.

You should get a water detector so you can join us out in the wet stuff.

Thanks for the kind responses guys.

mastereagle22 - Hhahaha. I love finding zipper pulls. Who loses these things

Kas - Yeah I did go up to the beach and I found a few things here and there. Seems like the serious guys were in the water so I joined in the fun.

Sandman - I've got to try stoney creek.. Do they have the same rules as metro (no hunting before labor day)? I just bought a Tejon so the water detector will have to wait a little bit.

Sounds like you had a great time, and that is all that matters. Great finds.

I also was at Metro beach on Tuesday morning around 6 45 am. I must have seen you. I was the guy with the metal detector. Ha Ha. Any rate all I found was clad, a junk ring and a Mexican 20 cent piece.

It's me. I lose zipper pulls all of the time.
Not the ones off my britches, but jackets,
luggage and everything else. SORRY!....
or should I say "Your welcome"?

Sweet gold cross.

 

[Boobydoo]

Welsome to TNet!

Sweet finds, especially the nice cross.

They say, no one can hunt from Memorial day to Labor day,
but unfortunately there are people that are let in to detect.
There was a post last summer on TNet explaining how the park
rangers friends are allowed to get in during the "off season"
But... a place is never hunted out as they say and you proved it.

Smiles!
