Bill Westrate from Cassopolis Mi, found these items while on a Civil War hunt in Fredericksburg VA this spring.  This site has been pounded before but Bill was still able to pull these goodies out with his Minelab Explorer SE

WAY TO GO BILL!

This Gold thimble was found in the water at one of our club hunts!

Why would there be a thimble in the lake? Your guess is as good as mine.

Found by Dick Root.

Here is some finds from a couple of days fun at Lake Michigan.

Some of the coins, lures and jewelry were from an undisclosed

honey hole at an Inland Lake in Cass County Michigan.

Last fall my treasure hunting buddy Jake asked me if I wanted to

go on a hunt about 40 minutes from my home. I said sure and we

made plans for that coming up Saturday to hunt all day. We got to

our destination early in the morning and the corn was still standing

where the old house stood over 100 years ago.  We were kind of

disappointed to say the least. We got in our vehicles and started

driving back toward another site when he just turned into a driveway

only 1/2 mile down the road. We got out of the vehicles and walked

to the door to ask if we could hunt their property. The owners were

delighted to tell us about his land and to have us see what we

could find. We could tell that this site had been hit before because

of the lack of older targets. However we did manage to pull this

old spear point out at 6".The amazing thing was that the spear point

was stuck straight in the ground and the edge was the only thing for

the Minelab Explorer SE to detect.

I believe that the position of the point was why it was still

there after all these years.

Yes it is copper!
