Ive been digging in Michigan since i was a kid. Now 25 I can drive to anywhere I want to go. I dont know what its like everywhere else but here we have 3 dying big cities within 60 miles of one another and it makes it very easy to find good spots, as long as you dont mind the gang ridden neighborhoods of downtown Saginaw, Flint and Detroit.
Who has dug in Michigan and how were your results? You can dig in just about any city in michigan and find a bottle from Detroit, right next to a bottle from New york, Canada, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and just about anywhere else you can think of in the U.S.
The only reason i can find for that is the extensive railroad system which came through here very early dumping off things from all over the country on its way through. These are not always common bottles you find from big cities either. These can be local druggists from 750 miles away. Is it like that everywhere??? A good example is digging a quart beer bottle from a tiny little town in Wisconsin which no one from Wisconsin has dug before.
Anyway......id like to hear some other digging stories from Michigan to see if we all have the same sort of results. I will pipe back in later to share my own but thought id get the ball rolling here to appease my own curiosity.
