I went back up to Wisconsin to give it another go. Although I tried, I didn't dig any Silver. As I was driving to my destination, I noticed a church Steeple way off in the middle of nowhere. I took a quick left and headed toward it. This never happens when I find old churches, but some one was actually there. they gave me permission to hunt this very old 1844 church. I wasn't swinging more than 10 minutes and dug a 9" nickel. A very clean and green 1891 V Nickel. So now I'm thinking I found a Honey Hole. Nope, another hour and 20 minutes produced nothing but a couple of wheats and a shell casing. . It still amazes me how often I find a good coin right off the bat and then nothing. A bit later in the day, I hit a house and dug an 1889 Indian, 5 wheats and another laxative token. ( found one last month in Illinois )
This morning, before heading home, I decided to go back to the park where I got the two cent piece last week. I hunted for a couple of hours. All i was finding were old Jeffersons and deep memorials. Then I got a 12-43 at 6". I turned the plug and there at the bottom of the hole was a green rim sticking out. I thought it was some kind of slug or something, then I saw the "ONE CENT". Wow, my first large cent of the year. The reverse is extremely worn and the front is basically non existent.
