    Nice solid hunt(s) Don! That haul of silver would put a smile on any detectorist's face!

    Great finds, Don! I bet you so happy to get out for a productive hunt. You found a little bit of everything! Lots of silver and an Eisenhower Dollar which is a very unusual find. I bet that was a screaming signal!

    I love the crotal bell! Is it whole?

    Nice finds! Glad you made it to our side north of the line! Not sure where you hunt or if you are a group hunter or not (I usually go solo), but I do get out down in to Walworth, Rock and Green counties from time to time. Feel free to send a PM if in the area. I am in Milwaukee.

    Great finds Don, in all my years I have never found and Eisenhower. I wish I would of been in Wisconsin this weekend as I was helping a friend move in Florida and it was brutally hot (and humid). I would hate to detect there in summer. Great hunts. WD
