My name is Dave Mielke and I live in Highland, Michigan. My Treasure Depot name is Dave from Michigan and I have been metal detecting for about 8 years.

I have been interested in relic hunting ever since I was a kid, but this will be only my 2nd real relic hunt. My first hunt was this years North / South Hunt. I didn’t find alot of great stuff but had a great time hunting and meeting everyone in the group. I now have some great new friends and I learned alot!!!

Where I live is around alot of lakes, so you will find me detecting mostly in the water. The water detector I use is a Mine Lab Excalibur. I will be using my Whites XLT on this hunt. I am really looking forward to this hunt and seeing everyone again!
