    Found Lake Superior Beach After Erosion- Babyfoot I.D. Help

    We were at the inlaws in Houghton, Mi. There's an area of the beach that suffered major erosion and my daughter/wife/I were taking a walk and picking rocks and stuff.Apologize if the pics are a bit dark.It's an almost forest green dark green color. The area in the rounded part is lighter...

    So where are the detector reports??

    Hey Rich and all... been awhile. Weather has been junky. Have only had a chance to hit up near inlaws and get some copper.

    So where are the detector reports??

    Wish I could get out and detect/dig. The ground here is mud/squish/frozen still.I am going to go do some surface exploring very soon.Friend bought a house in Florence, Wisconsin that sits on a ledge that overlooks a natural fed pond and there were many stills in that area.There was quite a bit...

    Detecting finds

    That is a huge hunk of silver cryptic. There's silver, copper, gold and a ton of other minerals up here.We're in the same glacier belt as you so that stuff is everywhere. Have a ton of copper and a bunch of quartz with some gold threads in it but that's about it so far. That hunk of silver is...

    The 2340 I found

    2340 I found in a mucky "lagoon" next to a hydro dam. Tons of 5part all the way down to these in there. I pulled a 5part out that was mostly broken. The hardware/connectors are all in great shape though. Might clean them up and give them to my wife.couple pics. the watery pic is the lagoon with...

    Old Fence

    I'd have my detector all over that fence line.Many things get hidden near,along and inside of rock fence lines. Friend of ours owns quite a bit of land on the Menominee river. He was hunting grouse (they call grouse partridge up here..never understood that...or rather: part ridge...pronounced as...

    So where are the detector reports??

    I had a chance to get out one time in the past couple of months.pulled a bunch of trash. pull tabs and such.I went back to the lagoon at the Menominee River near the dam.I pulled a 5-part insulator out.Most of the discs were broken. I took it home anyway. Wife just rolled her eyes at me when she...

    Nice to see so many finds. Plumb, you're on a hot streak!I haven't been to any of my spots or the lagoon of swampiness to see what else is there.Made it up to inlaws a cpl of weeks ago. Was going to go up to Mandam and see what's in the dump there..Father in law knows where the other dump is, so...

    i agree..he just walks around and finds stuff...4-6$ of clad everytime you go out is pretty harcore.

    A prospecting adventure into the Storm Sewers yields Silver and Gold!

    Holy cow. That's sweet. What a haul. I like the write up as well. Nice humor!!Im going to have to look at those with a bit more interest now..if I can find some.There's one of these at the hotel I dig at that was right in front of the hotel and goes across to the area where there used to be town...

    No idea yet Leon. I'm going to go swamping in there though. The gate into there is now open. The water in that lagoon is very low now. 5" of water or so but still mucky.going to go with the digging gear and pull more of these out (there are some 5 multis out there) and muck about.

    An insulator I pulled out of the water.

    yeah..not sure of the rarity. I know the dam is very old. There are quite a few of these insulators there.there are some of the 5 part ones too. I could have walked from insulator to insulator. No name or numbers on this one and I know there are quite a few that are unmarked that were made by...

    An insulator I pulled out of the water.

    measurements are: 8 across x 6.5 high x 5 across at the base..... same measurements as a M-2430..but slightly different..and this one is a brown drip. crazy. I'll have to go pull the m-500's out too...

    An insulator I pulled out of the water.

    Posted this in unexpected, but going to xpost it in case it's not seen. was at the dam on the Menominee River next to an old meeting hall. Son was there for a grad party and I had been told that the shoreline where I was at had bottles.I was standing on a small point that makes a lagoon behind...
