    1st silver quarter of the year and some unusal clad finds

    Got in 2 long hunts on Saturday and Sunday and had some nice finds to show for it. Saturday I found 3 Clad JFK's on the same hunt which is close to what I might find in a year. I also picked up a nice 3 wheat 1 Merc spill. On the Day found 11 wheats and 3 silver dimes. Sunday I did a little road tripping and again picked up a lot of Wheaties and my 1st silver quarter a SLQ smoothie. I made some adjustments to the ETRAC and found the SLQ and a Merc that were a bit deeper then I recall finding coins at this spot so hopefully the setting adjustment may help me pick up some deeper coins in the future. It's been mostly a single silver per hunt kind of spring so it was nice to see 6 silver over two hunts this last weekend. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger
