Yes the temps are rising but the silver count this week was dominated by Mercury's. The week started with a single Merc that had a decent '16 date. Waited till I got home but no "D" mintmark to be found. I was sitting at 498 silver since getting back into detecting in 2012, so I went back to...

Have to cut my week short as I am heading Upnorth (Wisconsin) for the 1st time this year. Did not get out much this week but I found a couple of spots that may be nice areas. I hunted an old park that my Dad used to hunt. I tried it twice before with little luck. This time I decided to hunt...

Needed to add some photos for the banner and am challenged on figuring out the correct way. Wisconsin Digger

Had a few surprises this week and a lot of Wheaties. It seemed no matter where I went the Wheaties were a plenty. For the week I found 38 wheats, a few teens and twenties but mostly the ever so popular '44's. I managed to find some silver. Picked up another Washington, 3 Merc's and 6 Rosies...

I pulled what I think is a Copper Indian Spear Head. My signal was a 12-43 range and the point was really deep 10+". It has similar features of other spear heads I have seen. it is about 6" long and about an inch wide at its widest point. Does anyone think I have an Indian spear head. LMK...

Even with the weekend planned I was able to get out twice and had a great couple of trips. Saturday and Sunday I hit places I had not been to this year. Saturday I hit a park where I had marginal success but had potential as it was one of the back to work parks from the depression. I took my...

Hit an old Park after work where I got a dime Trifecta last year and a lot of wheats. My plan was to hunt some different areas and take my time. Ground was nice and moist so I had some high hopes. About 15 minutes into the hunt I got a super strong 12-44 that had some really good depth...

It's been slim pickens lately but the wheat count is up and a few silver are still slipping into the pouch. Found a couple Rosies on Sunday and hit a park on the way home from work today and found a Merc and another Rosie. Did not have all my Wheaties in the photo but I think I hit 20 on the 3...

Was hoping to hit some deep coins in the Church Woods with a bigger coil. The coil did not work as well as planned. Managed to pull an Indian and a couple of Buffalo's, but couldn't snag any silver. I went on a hunt today at a park I had some luck at and managed to get my 1st Silver...

Was reviewing my coin logs since getting back into the Hobby in 2012 and noticed I was at 199 Mercury dimes. Liking rounder numbers I hit the park I went to last Saturday with some unexpected results. At first signals were scarce but I moved to an area I thought was close to where I found a...

Had a rough week of work so I decided to do a Marathon road trip hunt on Saturday. Hit 3 spots in total and had a goal of 5 silver for the day. First park was a follow-up hunt to the park I hit 10 silver at last week. I did a pretty good job apparently as I only found 2 more Rosies and 10...

Put in a full hunt at a park I found a tad of silver at last year. It's an older park in a small town that I hunted 40 years ago with my Dad. It had a fenced in ballpark that I did not hunt last year because I did not want get anyone upset. Today I noticed both gates were open and the...

Took advantage of a gorgeous day in Wisconsin to hit a few spots from last year. The first spot was an old HS that was completely refurbed several years back with all the top soil stripped and placed back on the grounds. Last year I hit several silver with old and new coins all over the depth...

Still fighting the remnants of winter but today was pretty frost free. Went to a Park where I had some silver luck late last year but nothing real old. Today changed that a bit as I found 3 Century coins. My first nice 12-46 signal turned out to be a 1902 Barber Dime. I managed to fins a few...

Ground not really thawed but could not wait any longer. Actually did find one coin where the ground was thawed the rest required the chisel method. Nothing too earth shattering but in an hour found 1 Rosie, 1 Wheat and .36 cents in clad. Tomorrow get to hunt a Church dirt basement that is...

I own an etrac and am quite happy with the coin results. I would also like to pick up a good jewelry detector. I am leaning towards an ATPro but would like some confirmation or other opinions. Thx Wisconsin Digger

Part 2 of my Dad's Log from 1976. I was a bit surprised that his finds were down from March and April and he stayed pretty close to home. It is still pretty interesting at what he found in areas I am still able to hunt and find a few things yet. May and June still did not show many really old...

Not much else to do in frigid Wisconsin so I thought I would post some finds from my Dad's log from the 70's. I wish I could of located all his journals but I still have two. My Dad would of been 100 this year and was the guy who got me into this great Hobby. I got out of the Hobby until last...

Already starting to miss swinging the coil and its only been a little over 1 week. Don't know if I'll ever duplicate this year but am hoping to find some older coins down the road. I'll admit my totals this year were drastically inflated by finding a Virgin Church grounds only 2 miles from my...
