A golden start to my 2020 season.

We have had some unseasonably warm weather here in SE Wisconsin so I took advantage of it with a few short hunts. All three were at my go to spot, the old picnic grove. I found 3 Indians 1865, 1891 & 1895, 4 wheats 16, 18, 34 & 35. A couple silver plated spoons. A very cool watch fob. It is an early 1900’s Automobile & Bi-plane Race Commemorative Watch Fob. It’s about the size of a half dollar and made of copper which at one time had a silvertone coating. Here is a link to the info I found on it. I also included a photo of the nondug example.

The find of the hunts was my first gold of the year. It’s an old gold ring, 18K and 6.2 grams. I can’t remember ever starting a season with gold before silver. I hope that is a sign to come for the new year. Thanks for looking.

Man I love that grove! And now a vintage gold ring!
Congrats brother!:yahoo:

Surely hoping it's a good omen for a golden summer!

Nice recoveries. I was ushering several Masses there a couple months back and I think you came up in a conversation with one of the grounds keepers. He just mentioned he sees guys detecting from time to time on the grounds. Congrats WD

Those are some great finds Jeff! I'm guessing you found a new part of the grove? Last time we were out there I dont recall getting a single hit even using my GPX for the really deep stuff, and we both went away empty handed.

Hard to beat a start to 2020 than gold! Awesome! That 1865 IHP is purdy.

Great start to the year Jeff! Man, hope finding gold right off the bat isn't a curse. What a wonderful find though. That '65 IH is also a beauty.

Now thats how you start off a new year!! Congrats on all the good finds, but I really like the FOB! Awesome find!

Can't beat that for a "go to" spot!! That bi plane fob is sooo interesting!!! Congrats, Jeff!!

Way to start off 2020 with a bang, Jeff! That 1864 Indian Head is a looker, the best of the three. Nice!

And how cool that you found a gold ring right off the bat this year! Not only that, but an 18K example as well. Spectacular! :loveit:

I love that watch fob too! I've never seen one like that before. What a cool piece of history! :yes:
