Been having some moderate success when I tried a new spot I have driven by several times. The first time was later at night and only had 45 minutes or so to hunt. The little park produced 7 Wheaties which convinced there had to be silver. When I had more time I returned and was convinced in the 3 hours I had that a silver was there to be found. After a good amount of time and only finding clad and a handful of wheats I got a really nice signal at 7-8". It was a higher reading so I was convinced I had silver. I dug way down before the pinpointer even hit anything. After a little more digging I found what I thought was another wheatie. I rubbed it some and saw right away it was not a wheat but something else. I put it in my pouch and continued hunting. I was able to find 3 Merc's which was way beyondmy expectation, but I was more anxious to see what the mystery coin was. After soap and water cleaning it turned out to be a Civil War Token dated 1863 from the Phillip best Brewery in Milwaukee Wis. I never thought I would find any of these and in really nice shape. Not quite as neat as the Indian Spear Point but a real close second. Included some views of the Token as well as last weeks hunts. Really neat Token and I would love to see some posts of Tokens others have found. Time to get out and do some more digging. Wisconsin Digger
n that token and the silvers. Of course the Wheaties which brought you back to the park in the 1st place.
