Finally got around to getting a new permission and also had some great success at an old standby. Started the last couple of weeks with a couple quick hunts at an old standby park. I hunted an area I thought was mostly fill dirt, but when I pulled a couple of Wheaties and a Merc I thought it had potential. The next hunt there got me a Rosie and 2 more Merc's. Pretty good for a Park that has seen its share of detectors. Slipped in a little hunting on a road trip for work and managed 1 more Merc and a great potential new park. Did not find any silver there but found several old Wheaties and a lot of the park was too wet to hunt. Hope to get back there in June. Finally got permission to hunt an old Church my Dad use to hunt and got in 3 hunts. 1st hunt netted a Merc and several Wheaties, 2nd hunt was better with a Barber dime and a Washington as well as several more Wheaties and my last hunt today got me 3 more Merc's and another bunch of wheats. With the 3 Merc's I now stand at 297 since getting back into swinging in 2012. It's amazing how many Merc's are lost in Wisconsin. Merc's alone are nearly half of all the silver I have found in 4 years ( and not one is a key date). All in all the last couple of weeks have been great. Wisconsin Digger
