Braved the heat yesterday and had a good hunt capped by another really nice Barber Dime. I think the recent rain helped a bit as I was able to locate some awful weak signals that turned out to be older coins. I pulled 2 V nickels, one of which is really wore, a Buffalo an Indian and a pretty nice '26 Merc. Weird thing is I only found 1 wheat. Hope to get out one more time this week as I am sitting at 99 silver. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

Very productive day in the heat. More to come I would imagine so take the water , wear a hat and sun screen!
