Still been an issue finding time to swing but at least the few hunts I've had have been productive. The hunt last Sunday was mostly clad but I found a small spot that produced a Washington, a Roosevelt, a War Nickel and a wheat. Yesterday I went out and my forearm rest broke again on the Etrac on my 1st couple of swings so I had to break out the AT Pro which I only tried once before. I hunted about 5 minutes trying to figure out the depth and readings and I dug what I thought was a shallow dime. The detecting gods were smiling as I found a Merc in the plug and a Rosie in the hole. I can only assume I missed this with the Etrac or I thought it was way to shallow to dig, the area is loaded with pennies (dug 29 today in the same spot). Didn't find much else but a few wheats but considering my inexperience with the AT Pro I was glad to get what I did. Today I returned to the same spot and found a lot of clad but was lucky enough to dig a 12-16 (thought it might of been a War Nickel) and hit a small gold Ring (14K). Can't remember how long it has been since I,ve seen gold in the hole. Finished the day with a Merc a Rosie and 6 more wheats. One of the wheats was a really nice 1909 but no VDB on the back. Great day to be out. Keep swinging Wisconsin Digger
