Ok, so I got the most on what to dig with, but finding areas? I live in western Michigan, and to the best of my knowledge we dont really have an old towns around this area, and our rivers in western Michigan are pretty cleaned out, I don't recall ever finding anything from walking along them when I was younger. (Mind you I am a youg-in. Only 22, but fascinated with history) I am new to this, as I found some small dump sites on my property, which got me interested last week. Sorry for blabbering on. I tend to do that a lot. Was wondering if anyone out there is from or around Michigan that might have tips on other places to dig?
