    Welcome from Wisconsin! As to where to go, I can't speak specifically to your location as I don't know the area. But, if you are interested in looking for old coins or relics you are in the right area of the country. The best thing to do is research local history and try to find abandoned colonial home sites. You can also get permission from home owners to detect their properties. There are just tons of possible sites.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token
