Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3067 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 6:10 pm Today's detecting trip, on the hillsides along Lake Michigan, resulted in finding four pair of glasses. I have never found so many in one trip. I also dug up a 1920-D and 1925 Lincoln Cent, a live round from a World War II era M-1 Carbine and this big sea shell. I have no idea if the shell is a geologic remnant from when the hill was part of Lake Michigan's shoreline or if it was dropped by someone who found it on the beach.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 16857 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 6:16 pm Well that's a kick. I've seen large 'scallop-like' shells lodged in stream banks consisting of soft, unconsolidated silt. Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 05/04/2023 10:37 pm Paul, great stuff! I read your post earlier today, and something has been on my mind all day. Scallops are not found in freshwater lakes or rivers. How such a shell arrived there for you to find is quite a mystery, and bears further investigation.
