Went water detecting today!..........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

It was almost summer like today! I got an invite last night at 11pm from two Indiana Iron Brigade members to hit an old site at a lake that we have searched together a few times over the years.

About 3 pm we hit an old park where I got an 1867 indian (very good year) a neat silver Presbyterian Sunday School pin, and a little silver disc that realy wants to be a 3 cent piece! A great day with great friends!

Was that location an old church camp? At Spring Arbor Univ they have some old pics of a lake in N. Indiana that hundreds met at every summer for years and years. I was wondering if this was the place. I can't remember the name!

Got a nice barber dime out of the beach last fall.

Neal says the bottom is really soft and you can sink to your knees in places.

He says the clay bottom is very difficult to "strain." As O'Reilly says, "what say you?"
