    Welcome! I think about 50% of the members here are from Wisconsin or Illinois! Hope you can meet up with a few members.
    Detectors I use: Minelab Equinox 900 & Manticore
    Favorite finds I have made:
    1,000+ silver coins
    104pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
    Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
    125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
    My wife     (probably should have started with that one)

    Welcome Mike! Yes, I'm pretty sure about half the members here are from the Wi/Ill area. Competition is pretty stiff in the Racine area, especially the beach which gets cleaned spotless daily so I imagine it's tough in Kenosha as well. But on the bright side there's a lot of history in the region and plenty of folks who are happy to have a hunting buddy.
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

    Now that's the right way to introduce yourself! Welcome to the forum and yes, it seems all the Illinois boys and Wisconsin boys end up detecting together eventually. I fully expect we'll meet in person some day. There is lots of amazing insight and knowledge on this forum so don't be afraid to ask any questions! We love seeing pics of your finds too. Best wishes and HH, Dave.

    welcome from Connecticut mate , as mentioned there are a lot of people here from your part of the world and occasionally they make a trip down to new england where they proceed to dig up stuff that does not belong to them !!!.
    joking a side,we love the lads from middle America ?,i don't know..im a Brit !,im assuming its middle America.
    hopefully you can get in with there click and make the trip with them when they come next time.
    p.s
    i would stay away from that little digger bloke though.......a bit strange if you know what i mean...lol
    I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

    Ah come on Lee! You said you were glad we came up there because otherwise those old coins and relics would never get found!
