Heading to Virginia in late March and would love to detect. Any suggestions on parks or site seeing areas. Thanks Wisconsin Digger

I think yesterday was my last hunt of the year and if so it was a pretty good year. I managed a few more silvers for the year and some unusual silver jewelry pieces. The Donkey or Pony Pin is quite a nice chunk of silver and the ring has a nice design on it. Ended the year at 148 silver and...

Haven't posted in a while with only 3 hunts in the last 3 weeks and only a silver or two but today I had a permission hunt that I thought the condition of the wheats was worth a photo or two. Overall the hunt was pretty vanilla but I did find 13 wheats and every one after a little wire wheel...

Should be taking advantage of the weather but only got out 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Mostly hunting old spots as I haven't taken the time to do a road trip. Started the hunts off with a hunt at a Park close to work and found 4 war nickels in 2 short hunts. Quite the park for War nickels as...

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...

It has been awhile since I have found some older wheats but I managed nearly a dozen Saturday with 4 in the teens a couple of 20's and a couple of 30's. These should actually clean up good compared to the ones's I have been finding. On the day found a Washington a very nice 1909 Barber dime 2...

Hit the Park I found the 5 silvers at Sunday and found 3 more goodies a a Red Goose Shoe Token. Wisconsin Digger

The heat and humidity has been brutal so I opted for an old go to spot that has lots of trees. Always amazing how much stuff a guy misses. Found a few pockets I missed and ended up with 3 Mercs, 2 war nickels, 2 Buffalos and some really nasty wheats (7 total) and an old silver ring missing the...

Haven't got out in 2 weeks so made a day of it on Sunday. Thought I ended the day with 8 silver but I actually had 9. A whole bunch of Rosies and 2 Merc's. I also found a toasty Indian, 8 toasty wheats and about $4 in change. Wish I could get more hunts in as September has been great. The...

August was a little tough for me as it typically is in August. I found 7 silver and a dozen or so wheats. Ground is dry, spots are hard to find etc. Made plans this weekend to do a lot of hunting but as the expression goes everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face, my trip was...

Lost my WiFi router in a storm and was having a bit of an issue dealing with photos on my old computer. Figured something out so the post is from 4 or 5 hunts I've had in the last couple of weeks. Been fortunate to find a few nice sterling rings as well as a little silver. The weirdest hunt I...

Took a day off work to get ready for my annual Golf outing to practice. figuring practice would not help I decided to go detecting instead. I found an old Silver ring that actually looks like my initials "DL", unfortunately it is a tad small for me. Had a good hunt as I ended up with 2 Mercs...

Only had time to hunt late Saturday and early Sunday morning today but the hunts were quite productive. Saturday someone was shining down on me because the place I hunted I've hit pretty hard before but I was hitting some squeakers where most turned into to silver including a quarter/dime...

Whimped out on a road trip today and stayed closer to home. Was struggling a bit to even find a wheatie when I hit on a couple of Rosies. At that point I figured I found what I was going to find. I planned on hitting a different spot but gave the Rosie area one more try. I picked up a...

Still been an issue finding time to swing but at least the few hunts I've had have been productive. The hunt last Sunday was mostly clad but I found a small spot that produced a Washington, a Roosevelt, a War Nickel and a wheat. Yesterday I went out and my forearm rest broke again on the Etrac...

Went out for several hours on Saturday morning and had a good hunt. Since 2012 when I got back into the hobby War Nickels were a pretty good target over the years. Saturday I hit 99 and 100. Funny thing as I found them back to back along with a 1940 Jefferson. Not a coin spill but in the...

With Holidays and work I have not got out in over a week so made the point of going out before work on Friday and spending most of Saturday in the field. Friday resulted in 3 silver and 4 wheats in a Park I would of been happy to find 1 wheatie. Nice to be surprised going in with low...

Got out today and hit a 100 year old coin spill with my oldest half dollar and a 1906 "V" nickel. the barber Half was a 1893. Also hit what I think was a post '64 drop Rosie as it was in the same hole and depth as a 1992 dime. Weird but glad to find it. Also managed a well wore SLQ on my way...

I was hoping to pick up a silver or 2 before May but I just could not find anything. I was hindered a bit by the grass as it is costing me several inches of depth now. Just before leaving I did get one really nice signal that turned out to be a Boy Scout ring. I've seen a few that some other...

Work has been kicking my butt so I can't get out on any long hunts or travel so I am trying to get in as many short hunts as I can at some closer but well detected places. I did get in one new permission that was great but only a small area to hunt. I also had a good week on silver nickels as...
