    Weekend hunts hilited bt dated SLQ

    Headed west the front end of the weekend and north the back end and both directions were good. Friday and Saturday I hit some places I have been to before but tried to work some different areas. Managed to find 3 Mercs, 1 of which was the glossiest Merc I ever pulled from the ground. On the 2 trips west I found the 3 Mercs, 8 wheats and my first 1908 Indian. Heading north Sunday I was looking at some new areas but ended up hunting some spots I hit before. That trip produced a 1929 SLQ, 3 Rosies, 3 Buffalos (all pretty toasty) and 11 more wheats. A lot of digging this weekend as I think I found over 200 coins, a lot more lincolns dug (69)then I normally dig but that's how it goes sometimes especially when the wheats were not that deep. All in all a great weekend and the weather was perfect. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger

    I do use an Etrac. Hate to offend but I don't think my AT Pro even comes close to what the minelab machines are capable of. Yesterday I did a little hunt close to work and found 3 war nickels I am sure I never would of found with my AT Pro. Best machine I ever used. WD
