WINNER #1
Congratulations to our US Favorite Finds winner David K. from Michigan!
David and his son have been metal detecting together for years using Garrett equipment. On this day, they went to this old hotel location where people flocked to Michigan to cool off in the lake on a hot summer day. David found this location using a map from 1890! He was using his AT Max with the sniper coil because the water was knee-deep with a hard rock and clay bottom filled with trash that was hard to maneuver. He writes, “It was the best metal detecting day ever! The best find was a 1914 National Encampment Delegate medal, made of pewter or other corrosion-resistant metal. Other finds included a near-perfect key for a Model T automobile. It could have been from one of the Model T’s depicted in the old photo! In addition, we found a handful of turn-of-the-century coins, two old Cracker Jack toys, Buffalo Nickels, something called a collar button with the patent date of May 11, 1915, and a fancy engraved legging clip from an old bathing suit!”
