It' been a pretty good week of hunting. The Etrac is earning its keep as several of the sites I'm hunting have really DEEP targets. The item I found for the first time was a bullet coins. I know a lot of hunters have found one but this was my first. The unique feature of this one is the bullet is still imbedded in the coin. It looks to be a 20's wheat but the detail is almost gone except the date and some of Abe's head. In the same hunt I found a Barber quarter and a V-nickel. I have not found a Barber Quarter since 2012 and did not find any V nickels all of last year so it was nice to see those 2 coins show up. The area I am hunting has a lot of water so the Barber was just black. Even though a lot of the other silver coins did not clean up well the Barber turned out great. Also picked up some Rosies a Washington and one more Merc for the week. Almost found as many silver as I did wheats which was nice. Also had one of those weird experiences that pop up from time to time. On Wednesday I had some time to kill so I hit a Park I did not think would have much to offer. I found 2 wheats and 2 Rosies in about an hour with plenty of area to hunt yet. With high hopes I went back Saturday and could not find a single silver in 4 hours of hunting. Strange how that works some times. Anyway great week of hunting. Keep digging Wisconsin Digger
