We're glad you joined us! I bet that 1786 Two Reales put a big smile on your face! A find like that would probably give me a heart attack, ha ha! Spanish silver is rare here in the midwest but it can be found.
Best of luck, and we are looking forward to your participation on the forum!

Wisconsin digger thanks for the welcome, my great grandmother was from Weyauwega will be trying the homestead this spring when I go up turkey hunting, and my property is by Symco so just east of your sons spot, lots of deer left.
im in Southern Washington County and do 90% of my detecting in Washington, Dodge and Waukesha Counties. It's getting harder to find quality spots so I'm starting to expand my area a little. I'm retiring this month so it will give me a little more time to explore new areas.Originally Posted by Muddy Mike

I used to live in Burlington and Waterford, and still hunt the area sometimes. Not much left in public areas though there is a lot of history in the area. Used to be a military road through the area in the early 1800s through Union Grove, Rochester, etc. Might try to get a cow pasture permission where the town of Voree once stood next to Burlington. Tough area since the owners of Hounds Hobby pound the area mercilessly.
