Lake Michigan Beach Mining
Did some prospecting at Lake Michigan today. Found a little bit of gold. Gold is where you find it. If you don’t look for it, you will never find it.

Took Halo out for a walk on a hiking trail in Allegan today and came across this old house. It was built in the 1900’s, but the main beam it it was hand hewn and looks like it had been repurposed. I tried to find some history on it but was unsuccessful. The snow is finally gone and the funny times are about to begin!

This is believed to be a 120’ long 2 masted schooner named Contest that ran aground in 1882. It was buried in the sand dunes and was first mentioned/discovered in 1942. The sand then reclaimed it until it was exposed again in 1974. Then sand reclaimed it and it appeared again in 2018. We went and saw it today because it is exposed again. It’s located next to the south pier of the channel going ...

      None of the spots I work for gold are close to where I park my vehicle. I carry the sluice and my other gear a distance. It gets heavy after carrying it and the rest of my gear. All of the gold in Michigan except for a couple of places is all flour gold. I’m going back to classifying my material before I run it through. I will be trying some dream mat I picked up over the winter.

    Along the northern part of the Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior shore the black sands are being pushed out into the lake from the rivers and creeks the black sand makes it out about 50 feet then with the winds pushing south east the black sands get pushed up on the beach. If it was aloud and you could use a dredge you could get a lot of gold but they are not aloud to be used. Take a look at google maps and go east from grand Marais, Michigan
