Do you know that if you dig straight down thru the earth in Michigan you will come out in the ocean.

 

cool.

 

I think the Chinese coin is of Qian Long, 1736-1795 AD, Boo Fu mint. Very cool find.

 

Make that Boo Fu mint, Fuzhou, Fujian province

 

I hope the shot wheat cent was'nt a 1909 S VDB. I'm in Michigan also, i have'nt done much metal detecting(White Eagle detector). I'm not really sure of areas legal to detect. Any hotspots for detecting in Michigan that are legal? The high price of fuel makes driving very far to detect pretty costly.

 

I dug a 4 foot post hole in Michigan the other day. The water was already running into the bottom of the hole the further i dug. I did'nt check if it was sea water though! LOL!

 

And then you would flood the state!

Time to build that ark. Uh, what's a cubit?

 

Its what you use to drill a hole if you play a lot of billiards. ........:whistle:

 

If you dig deeper, you might find oil

 

Cubit;" any of various ancient units of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 centimeters) " I measured that distance on myself for future reference in case of no tape measure. I'm 19 1/4", so everyones cubit varies considerably.

 

That Chinise coin looks like a Vault Protector to me...but my knowledge of foreign conis is extremely limited!

I would rather find natural gas. I've heard some of the royalties on some private land leased for gas runs $40,000 a month!
