I thought yesterday may be it but today was actually a little better then yesterday (no sleet). I decided to hit a place closer to home in hopes of finding anything. Went to a park I hit several times this summer with a handful of silver found. No idea why but the 1st find was a silver...

Weather forecast was poor but starting Monday we will see nothing but 20's and below so I figured this is definitely my last chance to get out. When I told my wife I may go out she said she thought I was done after last week and it was cold and rainy. She was right but what the heck. I only...

Decided, with hat may be the last good day to detect, to go back to the Park I hit yesterday. Wow what a day. 1 Washington, 9 Mercs, 2 Rosies and a Barber dime to complete the trifecta. Also found 16 more Wheaties. If this is it for the year what a great way to end it. Wisconsin Digger

Have a 2 day window of 40+ degree temps so spent the whole day today enjoying that window in hopes of finding my 100th silver for the year. I actually was looking to hunt a brand new spot when I was surprised to see a locked gate at the entrance. Was ready to head to a backup spot when I...

Desperately trying to find 1 more silver before the freeze comes and hit the Park I found the half dime at a couple of weeks back. It was a pretty uneventful hunt till I hit a very weak nickel signal. The signal was only about 15 feet from the half dime find. When I found the coin it was...

Found a coin today I thought I would never find as I never even thought of finding one. I dug a 1855 Seated Half Dime (square nail holed). This is a Park I have found several Barber dimes and Indians along with a Civil War Store Card Token coin so it has some age. I usually get fooled by play...

Went out on a chily hunt on Thursday and found a nice Sterling Medal that I believe is an Army Marksman Medal. Also on the hunt I picked up a few Wheats, 2 Mercs and a 1906 "o" Barber Dime.

The last week I have been on a Clad quest to get to 5000 clad quarters. Well I made it with 95 quarters in the last week but had a few silver surprises including and unknown detectorists plug where he left me a well worn Mercury Dime. I also picked up 2 other Merc's during the week. This year...

Found my 2nd Copper Indian Spearhead today and it is a nice large one. Also managed a couple Mercs, 1 Buffalo and 4 Wheaties. Also found almost $10 in change. Don't think this spot was hunted in a while but it was definitely hunted in the past. Wisconsin Digger

Hit an Old Courthouse that has been pretty good this year and found a steep side hill I don't think I ever hunted, at least not hard. I ended up with a couple silver, 2 Indians a Buffalo and 2 wheats one of which was a 1911 S that cleaned up nice. I don't find many semi-key coins so that was a...

Went into this year with few prospects so set my main goal at reachung 1200 silver in my 7 th year of hunting. Boy it has been a struggle but I finally hit my goal of 73 silver Sunday night to reach 1200. I had my best hunt of the year Saturday with 5 silver. Also took a picture of the last 2...

It took awhile but I finally found a quarter this year. I was hunting an old school where I grew up and the ground was soaked but it seemed to help get a bit deeper as the '04 "O" Barber quarter was a ways down. Also managed a Merc a Rosie 1 Buffalo and 5 wheats. It was nice to see something...

I think I found more Indians this week than I did Wheaties. Tuesday I was diverted by a Team of Police Canine Units in training so I moved farther away. I hit a nice 12-40 that turned out to be 4 Indian spill with all earlier than 1900. Hit an old courthouse on Saturday and found 3 more...

Had to travel Saturday and Sunday so took the Detector along. Saturday I picked up 2 silver and a bunch of Wheaties as well as a couple of Buffalos. definitely was a Cherry picked park. Sunday I was able to find 6 silver and a handful more of Wheaties. With the silver I found I was able to...

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...
