Hi Wisconsin,

Just wondering if anyone from Wisconsin would like to help get our sub-form just a bit more active than every couple of months a post shows up? So to get things started, I have had great luck getting permission and park permits, tons of coinage waiting to be uncovered here in Wisconsin

I will check this sub-form every few days that's my New Years resolution. :occasion14:

There is not a lot of replies for WI. There used to be a club in MILW with 100's of members and it was down to about 25 members about 2 years ago and decided to dissolve. If you can get something going that would be great.

Checking in from Wausau. This is my first year out of three doing research on sites, and it is amazing how many old and not-so-obvious places there are to detect once you look at historic plats, historic aerial photos, and Google Maps.

Yes lots of places and MDecting is NOT off limits in Wisconsin only on DNR controlled land, most counties and city parks are appearing to be ok along with most county owned land! I still hope to have the list completed in time for some good springtime hunting.

First timer here. My detector should be arriving tomorrow. Unfortunately I have to wait for the thaw to use it. Would love to hook up with some folks in the spring to try it out and learn in the process.

Woohoo UPS just delivered my detector. I have a few bare spots in the lawn where I got a few potential hits. According to the readout they are pennies most likely but still exciting!!!!!

congratulations on your new detector. hope it brings you as much fun as mine does me. hoping the snow melts down soon. it has been a couple of weeks since i was able to get out. if you have access to wooded areas the ground may not be frozen solid, leaves and snow insulate the ground. i have found some items recently nothing to brag about but some old stove legs,stove lid lifter, iron rings shotshell headstamps. warning: it can be addicting. i started in october and am hopelessly snared.

I'm sure I could find some areas to get permission. Not sure I'm ready though. Still reading up a lot.

perfect. now all that is needed is spring to arrive soon. hopefully the frost isn't to deep this year and will allow digging after a short warm up. what kind of new tools did you get?

I'm interested, I'm still new to MD, but I did just get the new Sampson shovel, and a new Garrett pro pin pointer in orange, so it will be harder to lose this one...

I'm figuring a lot of the western central MD's of Wisconsin may go to the Minnesota clubs being we are so close to Minneapolis /St. Paul but I would like to organize an area club if enough interest exists.

I'm in and more serious this time. All the hobbies I did with my kids I'm able to resume. It took quite a few years to even look at my coin collection, metal detectors or model airplanes after they passed away.

It would be nice to see threads started and added to here in 'Wisconsin' section. I was 'out' of the loop here for a couple of years but decided to get back in. Hope to see the finds and reports on a more timely basis.
Also nice to see what the relative 'age' of objects being found here in our state will be. Not as early as the east coast of course, but should be relative to the time being settled in our area.
Good luck and HH

Hit me up if you want a hunting partner I'm in New Richmond area. My biggest hang up is going alone so having someone that enjoys this also would be great.
