Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 9:32 pm After a mini-blizzard yesterday it was much nicer today here in SE Wisconsin with a sunny day and temperatures in the high 60s. I got out for two hours and hunted a wooded area along the Milwaukee River just north of Milwaukee. I only found three coins, but they were all nice ones. I dug up a 1918-D Lincoln Cent at about four inches and, when I rechecked the hole, picked up another signal. After some more digging I was rewarded with a 1920 Mercury dime. They're both pretty worn, so I suspect they were most likely dropped in the 1940s. About fifteen feet away I found a 1947-D Lincoln Cent that must have been just about new when lost. I got back to my car just as it started to sprinkle and by the time I got home fifteen miles away the temperature had dropped to 48!! That's springtime in Wisconsin for you.

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 9:41 pm Nice finds! Spring in the Pacific NW is quite a bit warmer. It's been in the 70s recently and is supposed to reach 80 on Thursday. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 07:42 am I'm across the road in Minnesota and I hit frost at 4 inches yesterday, so I'll have to wait a bit yet. Did find a sweet 1931 S Buffalo nickel and a small 14K gold cross, and a dozen common cents. So I was pretty unhappy when I was getting a good silver signal at 7" but couldn't get down to it. It was in a yard so I didn't want to dig too much. Property owner perfectly happy with me coming back since I gave them the gold cross. Report this Post to the Staff
