The coin was in an old park so I am hoping it has some age. No idea what country it is. Please help ID. The button was also in an old park but I do not think it is too old. I am hoping it is military and maybe the Navy Please help ID as well. Thx for any help Wisconsin Digger

With more free time now I seem to be spending much less time detecting. I did get out yesterday and had a nice hunt. The down side I was asked to leave after about 3 hours at a place I had permission for and have been hunting for 7 to 8 years. It is a Fair Grounds but the worker said it was...

June 1st is my last day in the work field but I've been taking a lot of vacation time in May. Today I had a Dentist appointment and hit an old Park by the big lake and had a nice day. I found 2 silver spills. First one was a Merc and Rosie and the 2nd was 2 Washingtons about a foot apart...

Spent some of the weekend splitting wood but did sneak 3 hunts in on the 3 day weekend. Hunts were fairly productive with 6 silver dimes. Ended up with 5 Merc's, a Barber, 1 Indian and 6 wheaties. Definitely covered my gas with a lot of clad so all and all it was a productive weekend both...

Got out Friday, Saturday and today and got a couple of silvers each hunt. The Hi-lite was todays Walking Half. It was a 1918 "D" which was the same year as the last one I found. Also picked up 2 more Merc's and 3 Rosies. I think the wheat count was 7. Wisconsin Digger

Headed to Northern Wisconsin to check out a new Park - it was closed - so I hit some old standbys. I ended up with the nicest SLQ ('23) and a really nice Barber Half ('15 S). The only downer was the highly acidic soil that really eats up the coppers. I found 7 Indians I am not sure I'll even...

Was having a real dud of a week detecting when out of the blue today a Big silver showed up. Had to change plans today and stay near home and found a Morgan Dollar at a old Park I have pounded. I must of walked over this coin a bunch of times. It was a solid 33-34 on the Nox and was a very...

I posted a better picture of my Indian from yesterday. I was hoping to get an explanation of the bold 187 & weak 2 on the date. I am guessing something got on the die but would like other peoples opinion or confirmation this happened on other 1872 coins. Either way any help appreciated, Went...

First time out was more about seeing if ground was thawed more so then finds. First park was all clad but I hit an old park nearer home and found a nice Indian 1872 but it has an unusual date in that the 187 is very sharp and the 2 is almost missing. The coin is in great shape unfortunately my...

Got in a couple more hunts this week and finally got a Gold ring today. I went back to the Park where they made the swimming pool sand dumps and had a very good day. Along with the Gold ring I found a nice silver ring, a Washington Quarter, 1 Merc and 3 Rosies. Yesterday I picked up 3 Mercs...

I am pretty sure if I had not got the NOX figured out I would not of made it to 100 silver this year. Since November 1st the NOX has found 29 silver coins. It is truly an amazing machine. Got out 3x's this Holiday weekend and managed to get 11 silvers to sneak me over 100 silver for the year...

Thought I would get to this milestone a little earlier but it's been a tough silver year. Took advantage of the great weather today and was able to find 2 Mercs and a Rosie. The 2 Merc's put me at 650 in my ninth season of hunting. I also picked up 10 wheaties with some older ones but they...

2nd weekend with the NOX was another great outing. The depth has been incredible and the separation has made a big difference in the two parks I hunted. The Barber quarter was all of 10" and I found a crusty wheatie and 1940 nickel that were not much behind that. Ended up with an 05 "O"...

Last winter I bought the Equinox 600. I got it out this Spring and hated it and went back to the Etrac. I pulled it back out a couple weeks ago with the intent on figuring it out. I did a couple of clad hunts and figured out all the weird "good" signals and what really is a good signal. Well...

Still been a grind but have started hitting some new locales although already heavily hunted. Lots of nickels which is OK but one area I hunted is really hard on Buffalos even after cleaning. The best find this year turned out to be a small lapel pin that says (exempt U.S.). After a little...

Two unusual occurances today. I found 4 war nickels in one hunt and I found a lot of silver. It's been hard to put a post together this year as the finds have been tough and few. Today I went back to the one park I have managed 8 silver this year and was able to double that today. Got lucky...

Went on a road trip today to an old Park that has been hit pretty hard. The day was a bust till I got a nickel signal. When I was done digging I had 2 V Nickels and 3 Buffalos (1902, 1903, 1916, 1917, 1920 D). Can't remember finding 2 in a hole before much less 5. I hit that area pretty hard...

A challenging year to say the least but something happened today that made my year. Foe about 15 years (maybe longer) I have been beating myself up for losing a coin my Dad found in the 70's from a woods my Mom use to go to for a Church picnic when she was a young girl. I thought the coin was...

Got out a couple times in 2020 and found mostly clad. I did stumble on another Copper piece I think is Native American. My research says it looks like an AWL or NEEDLE as it has a very sharp end and the other end is blunt. Two local guys I know are not sure as they have not seen many of this...

Wisconsin has seen some very moderate weather the last 3 weeks so the ground, though stiff, is still diggable. Got out today and found some nice coins. Got another Indian a really sharp 16 "s" Mercury, a Rosie and a couple of wheats. I posted a picture of some previous hunts as well which...
