Welcome from Illinois! :waving:
Glad you joined the forum, schooney! I bet you've found lots of goodies in 25 years. I was just up in southern Wisconsin for some detecting this past weekend. I detected some in Black River Falls a few years ago but didn't find much. The soil up there is so sandy and loose. Easy digging, but I kept wondering if the old coins had sunk too deep to be detected. I also detected in Baraboo last year, didn't find much then either.
Nice to have someone with your years of experience here on the forum. We are looking forward to your participation. Best of luck and happy hunting!
