Got out a few times with some interesting results. Did a road trip to an older town about an hour away and hit a Washington and merc as well as some wheats. Found an old key also, that turned out to be a religious metal. Key is copper or brass. On the way home hit a park I hunted earlier in the year and managed a Buffalo ('29 D) along with a few more wheats. Friday I took a half day and hit an old church I've hunted pretty hard. Got a real nice silver signal and dug a Merc. About a foot away I got a marginal signal that I was hoping maybe would be a Rosie or a wheat and it turned out to be a 1917 Walking Half. Not sure why the signal was so weak but was happily surprised to see big silver again. Today I only had an hour or so but managed a Merc and a few more wheats. Also picked up my first Krotel Bell (not sure on spelling) so that was a nice relic and had not found before. So not as much time as I would of liked to get in but some good results none the less. Hitting the road tomorrow so hoping to get the next week off to a silvery start. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

Those are some great finds WD! Awesome half, and that 37 buffalo looks to be in great shape! All sorts of good stuff there. The crotal bell is still on my bucket list, so congrats on getting one in such good condition! Old keys are always a bonus too!

Nice score. I like the crotal and the racing fob. The walker is a nice find even tho its a bit worn.
....Keep swinging? I been down and out for about two weeks now. Not shortage of places; they are sitting there waiting for me to hit them. The days when I had more time, pertinent issues arise with the house. (Three times had to do separate things to the furnace and ended up having the oil service to come by for an additional repair) Then the days when I had less time, it was the health acting up. ugh. That's why when I am out, I try to make the most of it and push the limits.

Great finds. Lots of silver, add in the buffs and wheats = a handful of keepers. I think that the key which is a religious medal is very cool, never seen one before.....:congrats:
