U. P. Michigan Day Two Detecting An Old CCC Camp

[@ronmueller3074]

My Dad was up there in the CCC,. He passed away 2013 at a 101. He showed Me He's camp, along time ago. It was west of Watersmeet North of US 2. Pomorey lake area? & Summit lake,. I remember taking logging roads to get there. I was very young, I wish I could tell You more. Dad showed Me were the main camp was & barracks. I wish I could help You out more. Happy hunting.good luck

I'm 8n the UP as well. Have several old CCC camps around the area. Have not detected any of them yet. Did hit up an old fire tower location. Must have been quite the party spot after they decommissioned the fire tower. There were old beer cans EVERYWHERE. Some places they were over a foot deep. Almost impossible to detect because of all the old cans.

that beer bottle looks like a stroh's signature

[@treasuretom13]

I remember those U.P. bugs..the black flies are the worst! What part of the UP do you hunt! Cheers new sub

[@ericpatterson5792]

Mosquitoes in the up get their winter coats in the fall and really start biting until they migrate to Wisconsin in January

[@dalewehner221]

gotta love those yooper dive bomber mosquitos, big as a humming bird! watch out for the ticks, their thick uo there this year. nice video

[@vpdisco]

What camp or forest is this?\

[@mikedenton25]

Yea that's a nice can you an search on how to clean it and you might be surprised by how clean they come

[@StivNagen]

I went out this morning, found one stinking memorial penny and got bit to death by gnats. Not much luck here in MN either! Gotta keep trying though. Cool place you found there.

[@jj-wj4tc]

the fire hydrant I s with a few hundred bucks that was a good find...

[@bobbieblackburn9726]

Let me know when you come back up, me and my bestie Josh know of some REALLY cool spots, old old places you are guaranteed to find some cool stuff

[@TheRustyman9791]

Bobbie Blackburn sounds great. find me on Facebook. Ryan Holubiw.

[@TheRustyman9791]

Thank you.

[@TheRustyman9791]

Thanks for the info.. I'm not a yooper I'm from WI just was detecting there.

[@ThePennyPickerJerichoJoe]

You need to try this again and change to a smaller coil to get in between the junk or maybe even dig some of it to see what you will find. Maybe even change you search for different targets of a different nature, I don't know maybe even try to recover history and not so much valuables. You never know.

Hey, dude I really enjoyed watching your video's. I didn't catch anywhere what type of metal detector, make and model, that you are using. Could you reply to this comment and let me know? Me and my boy want to get one and it seems like you have a lot of trouble free use. Thank you.

[@TheRustyman9791]

It this video I'm using a Minlab E-trac with a 15x12 SEF coil.

[@Baseballcardkingz]

Your intro is so beautiful!! It made me subscribe because I knew the video would be good!! :DDDDD

[@jayalexander3949]

There is federal legislation to bring the CCC back to bring USA young adults jobs and to work on saving our environment again.

[@anton1949]

Did we all catch the deer at 8:14?

[@cherylreimer7044]

my dad worked in a ccc camp

[@SapperMan724]

I remember this day! It was great meeting you at that spot. I ended up with a Wheatie from the area I met you at, but that was all. I actually went back there last weekend, and there was another hunter there, must be a very popular spot for detecting. Anyways, thanks for the videos, they're better than many others here on KZbin, and as I said before, it was nice meeting you! P.S. Did you end up selling that AT Pro?

[@granskare]

t hose guys in the ccc did not have a lot of money so might not be worth checking

[@TheRustyman9791]

Yeah good to see that you found me on here. No I still have the AT pro and the E-trac. Been thinking of upgrading to a CTX 3030. Look me up on facebook. See ya Happy Hunting. Thanks, Ryan Holubiw

[@kurtg1961]

Looks like an empty bottle. Hope that helps.

[@mattheworchard7528]

What is "CCC"

[@MrJojogun]

a FDR? program to get people a paycheck.....Civilian Conservation Corps. ....I think it was called.

[@samiellefoltz6472]

Matthew Orchard There is a California Conservation Corps established in 1976 that is modeled off of the original Civilian Conservation Corps. They still do work similar to the original CCC to this day. www.ccc.ca.gov

[@mikedenton25]

That's a 1930's can

[@granskare]

there were some ww2 pow camps up there...maybe in a ccc camp but I am not really that sure...you don't sound like a yooper :)

[@billjones6830]

you can no longer metal detect in Michigan any more only on private property

[@mokktarr]

Not true.

[@TopBestestGreatestFastestMost]

Sure you can, as long as you are grant permission

[@williammusser9872]

Look up the michigan law it is legal to metal detect on state and public land in most counties in michigan

[@carlfitzpatrick5864]

It kinda looks like a old mine site you should try to metal detect in iron county at the old camp Gibbs CCC site all the buildings are there and it’s been taken care of also in Covington there is a WW2 POW camp the first can you showed is a beer can from between the 1940’s and 1950’s.
