The area is massive and I thought that offering metal detecting tours would be awesome. It would be a revenue stream the city could utilize. I would go on a trip like that for the opportunity to hunt abandoned yards, and if they leveled the homes it would be even better.

There are other issues with the idea but I think it would be workable.

There has to be lots of valuable coins and relics from the turn of the century buried there.

Interesting thought. I know various colleges around the state are constantly conducting archeological digs at Fort Wayne. There's some serious history buried under Detroit.
