One might surmise the coin came to America somehow connected with slave trading. How it got to Ohio is another matter. Great find.

Hello from the far NW part of Wisconsin! I have a hat like yours (trapped it myself) and love old dog tags from this area. That Racine is a sweet find. You had a great hunt, you have some skills. ...

Remember, those trees were probably not there when silver was lost, the open spots are where people are losing money now, but there might be silver off the beaten paths, so to speak.

Great job, glad to see you are still out prospecting, your skills continue to show. I don't ever expect to find a large cent in the northern part of Wisconsin! Sometime would love to hear more...

Crazy -- I found the exact same token at an old school house in NW Wisconsin. Thought I had a deep half dollar!

Really awesome hunt Sir! Sometimes figuring out how things got where they were is more mystifying than the research that went into finding the place. I like old ballfields too and have encountered...

Congrats Wisconsin Digger, from someone in the NW part of the state. 900 is an amazing number and shows you and your machines have tremendous skill and capability. It WAS hot here too yesterday, I...

Way to go, sir! Wisconsin is not always the easiest place to find silver. Always enjoy watching your videos too. If you ever get up this way deer hunting again I'd like to shake your hand. I have...

Nope, same Etrac I have used since 2011. Deep On, Fast On, 13" Detech Ultimate Coil

I used to use Deep On, Fast Off. Next time I find one of those "chirpers" I will see if Deep Off makes any...

There have been years where my Barbers outnumbered my FDR + Merc combined. That was not intentional, but probably a consequence of not having as many late 50s/early 60s sites.

This was at least a...

I found this ballfield site checking historic aerials. It wasn’t there on the 1938 aerials, so I assumed all the fields in the area were new. Gaining access to later aerials showed that exactly one...

Thanks both of you. After I read your reply I happened to see a gilded version being worn on the uniform (collar) of an actor portraying a soldier in Stephen King's "The Mist".

Found in a harvested cornfield that was once the grounds for a schoolhouse (approx 1910-1955). The back shank has a hex nut on it, and it appears the shank has threads on it.

Great job! Up here in the NW part of WI, I plan to be back out tomorrow as well. An old school site that has been pasture was plowed in rows for corn this year. That corn is finally harvested and...

I only had time for two quick hunts this weekend. Saturday found me at at site where I hunted once before but only found a couple wheats, no silver. I focused on the edges and very quickly found...

Great finds FF43! On a related matter, I need a new set of headphones. Any reason I should not use Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones with my Etrac?

I'm sort of new here and since I joined I have not found much to post! I have replied to a few of you about hunting the outfield area of old ballfields. This is the time of year to do it, as they...

Great job, you are skilled! If you have not yet hunted the outfield area, this is generally the time of year to do it, often somewhat overlooked and so large that previous hunters miss a lot of...

Sounds fun, maybe I can get that for a gift from my wife. Can't wait to hear what the most interesting thing you learned was.

I have used a TRX this season and am somewhat frustrated by how chatty it gets (and then stays chatty even after you remove it from the hole). Great on stuff 1-3 inches directly under the tip, but...

Great hunt, maybe if the ground is not frozen during deer season and hunting is slow you can try working that magic in the NW part of the state! There are likely a bunch of Barber halves up this way...

Hah -- those finds exceed my totals combined for July and August! Great job. Ballfields (literally, the outfield) are one of my most productive spots. And it seems like most of them got reversed...

Nice job FF 43! Believe I have probably seen that church on one of your videos!

Congrats, two of us put in 8 hours each on Sunday and got a grand total of 3 wheats, 2 V nicks and a war nickel, so that Rosie looks really nice in our eyes!

Tip a pint or two for me.
