CASEVILLE, Mich. -- Authorities say a 39-year-old Wixom man who was wading while using a metal detector to search for valuables has drowned in Saginaw Bay at the Caseville County Park beach.
The Huron County sheriff's department says Thomas E. Weaver drowned Saturday. The department says Weaver was wading in about 4 feet of water when he called for help several times and went under the water.
The Bay City Times reports about 100 people formed a human chain to walk through the water after Weaver disappeared.

The sheriff's department says Weaver was found about 20 minutes after he went under and was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Caseville County Park is located in Huron County in Michigan's Thumb region, about 110 miles north of Detroit.

<< <i>Very sad indeed! That's two detectorists that have died this year that I know of-- the exploding civil war shell and now this. What was his forum name? >>

I used to live in MI and visited Caseville so many times i cannot even remember the amount.
There are no creatures in the water that could take down a man so easily unless you count
a perch coming up an nibbling you.
I am going to guess a stroke/heart attack had something to do with it. Sad.
I guess a life jacket should be worn more often if a person is doing such activities and
could have saved a life...
