Ahh Wisconsin weather can really be a pill. Got my nice early start in February and get sidelined for a couple weeks with snow and cold. Anyway got back out on Monday and Tuesday and got in a couple of nice hunts. Monday was pretty uneventful with 1 wheat and a handful of clad. Today I hit a Park I had some unexpected success at late last year. Ended up with 2 Merc's and 3 more Buffalos (have a before and after cleaning photo). It was an unusual area as I got the first Merc about 3-4" down and a few feet away from that another Merc was just under the surface and when I rechecked the hole a while later I found a shallow Buffalo in the same hole. Not sure but this was either a scraped down area or a dirt dump from somewhere else. Either way glad to find a couple more oldies. Early in the year my Buffalo total nearly equals my silver total 6 Buffalos and 7 silver. I also included a couple of finds from my earlier hunts. the 1st was a pin of some kind with "Wisconsin Health Guard" on it. I found a medal on ebay that was identical in design and apparently was from 1917. The other find is not that unusual other than I never saw a railroad spike that was this small. All the ones I have ever found or seen were nearly twice as big. Anyway I thought these were nice enough finds to post. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger
