First gold ring , first spent cartridge

[BandB1]

Hello everybody, SE MI here.

21/2 hour hunt turned up two rings, some clad and a spent cartridge.

​

The ring on the left is a harley davidson 10 k ring. The other has no markings. Must
say I got a bit of gold fever, those nickle pull tab tones started to sound good. Would have
hunted till dark (about another hour an a half) but got a little rain and some extremely
loud thunder. Began to wonder if maybe a metal detector might draw lightning. Was a
nice hunt.

Nice hunt is kind of an understatement isn't it? Man, that's a fantastic hunt!

Way to go. Posts like this almost make me want to dig for more trash.

you have to dig even the trash signals to find everything..... nice stuff....and there are quite a few michiganders that think there isnt anything good around here
again nice finds man

Thank you, Giant, U.P. Northwoods, midmich, and xdanthemanx.

I just started detecting on July the 12th and have a lot to learn, I think I cherry pick too much. Gold and silver is always a nice find, the older the better of course, but I think there is a world of good stuff under Michigan soil.

Good luck,
HH.

do you a bunch of good spots lined up band?? if not send me your exact location and ill see if i can dig you up a few spots close to you.
I have been doing quite a bit of research in michigan and have been pretty "dead on" finding good places to hunt.
