    5 silver hunt and some other goodies

    The heat and humidity has been brutal so I opted for an old go to spot that has lots of trees. Always amazing how much stuff a guy misses. Found a few pockets I missed and ended up with 3 Mercs, 2 war nickels, 2 Buffalos and some really nasty wheats (7 total) and an old silver ring missing the stone. The trees definitely saved the day or I think I would of gave up after an hour. Cooling temps coming Wednesday so that will be a welcomed change. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

    Grats on more silvers. To go along with what you said, I've def missed a few obvious targets like when I was recovering there was a quarter at 2.5". It was a 1965 nonetheless....after I had just dug a 1965 penny. ugh. Drew said he missed a coin (Toasted LC?) in his front yard after he had been over the spot 1000x. This weekend I found obvious targets in the 50s VDI to 80s VDI like a rein guide. I wasn't more than 25ft from the cellar either.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    That's a lot of nickel targets that you dug.! Congrats on the silver. The field I was detecting Saturday had no shade at all. First time in my detecting career I stopped walked back to the truck to get more water.

    It's a Park from the early 30's that has the trifecta of 10-12 signals, pulltabs, bottle caps and shotgun stamps. I don't think a lot of nickels were found over the years including by me. Takes a lot of digging to find the hidden nickels but it does have a lot of them. Even found 2 V nickels there this year. Always worth visiting especially in fall. Thx WD
