    and I thought yesterday was good

    Decided, with hat may be the last good day to detect, to go back to the Park I hit yesterday. Wow what a day. 1 Washington, 9 Mercs, 2 Rosies and a Barber dime to complete the trifecta. Also found 16 more Wheaties. If this is it for the year what a great way to end it. Wisconsin Digger

    What the heck??? Man and you thought that it was hit pretty hard before you got there! Guess it was not hit that hard after all. What a way to end the season!

    Big congrats!!!!

    Was about a 4 hour hunt and it definitely was the highest count this year. It will be a nice place to start next year. It definitely was my highest wheat count on the 26 day. Thx WD

    WTG on all those silvers. Hope there is still some areas of the park you haven't hit so that next year you can start off with a bang.....

    Nice Job! Sometimes you can find those areas in a park that just haven't been hit.
