Here are photos of the front and back of the buttons, text on front of first button (IMG_3251.jpeg)reads "Excelsior" along the bottom and has 13 stars along the top. The backside (IMG_3253.jpefg) reads " SCOVILLE MFG CO WATERBURY" along the top and "State of New York" along the bottom. The front...

Hello Treasure Net, Last time I posted was 2 years ago and I am back on the Net:headbang: So basically I need some help finding native american artifacts. I live in Northeast Wisconsin (Oconto County) and am not sure where to start. We own some field that I have been searching but have had...

Hey, Everyone! I've just compiled my list of notable finds from the Midwest during October (mostly Wisconsin with some Minnesota thrown in for good measure). Several old coins but lots of relics (a few of which I posted in "Today's Finds" here). I can't copy-paste the format with all the...

I’ve found my share of Hot Wheels this summer, but this is my first older toy, and I’m really excited to have dig it with my daughter. Found it in a city park which apparently has never been searched before, so I’m definitely going back tomorrow—despite the snow flurries! I found a match to...

Things will be getting colder up here in northern Wisconsin, so I've taken some time to post my most interesting finds from the summer. I can't really copy-paste the format from my blog where I posted it originally, so if you're interested in seeing some of my coins (oldest: and 1864 Indian...

Found this pin while metal detecting in a yard with early 1900s artifacts. Lots of Norwegians and Swedes up here in these parts, but I can’t match the shape to anything there, even counties. Any idea of what nation this might be? Perhaps even a specific country or island in Scandinavia?

From the pictures you can see some of the designs and with this little piece excites me. Talk about fancy! It came from the ground green, so it’s likely copper (or mostly so). On this property I’ve also found two WWI-era buttons and two pennies from 1887 and 1914, as well as a whole lot of...

I googled the type on the back of this button to no avail. Any idea as to era? I’m thinking WWII, but I found a WWI military button in the same area of Wisconsin woods just yesterday.

I will be in visiting near Lake Ripley in Cambridge over the next couple of days. If anyone has any ideas of where to detect or wants to detect for a bit give me a shout. It's aways fun to meet others who enjoy the hunt!

Have a question for those that have been detecting longer than my short 7 weeks. I have found three hot rocks with my Vaquero. Seems like they all give me a double beep instead of single one. Also, why would my White's Bulleye II pinpointer not signal them. They are hot out on the ground still...

Hi all, first time posting. I've enjoyed reading a lot of info on here and decided to reach out and ask if anyone has any suggestions for places to go in Wisconsin to pan? I've read what little I can find online about the State and its general lack of gold. Apparently the creek coming off of...

Hey everybody, I'm new to Treasurenet! Hoping to connect with those in my area! Thanks, Sunkist :)

While looking for a good place to prospect for gold (ultra-tiny flakes of flour gold) along the shoreline of Lake Michigan in South Eastern Wisconsin, I came across an area where sand dunes were eroding into the lake. A clay layer was exposed with sand on top, so I started poking around. I came...

Found 2 rings, a 10k ring and a 14k & silver ring (David Yurman) + $1.22 in clad coins! Cleaned up plenty of trash in between the treasure Discoveries, a Great day all in all!

Hello Wisconsin, My new years resolution to try my best to get Wisconsins sub-form active. I will be checking in weekly for thoughts, and ideas. For today the thought is.......When will winter end!!!!! A couple of key dates to answer this question are coming soon, January 9th we gain our first...

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...

No gold in Wisconsin? Here's a list: Gold can be found virtually anywhere in Wisconsin, due to the glaciers dropping off dirt and gold from Canada. Although it is almost always fine gold, there are a few places that good gold came from. Here's a list. 1. PLUM CREEK, PIERCE COUNTY Gold and...

Hey Everyone! I am looking to upgrade from my current Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II to something more professional. I live in NW Wisconsin and have been metal detecting for a couple years now. I got pretty serious about detecting last year, and quickly realized that my Quick Draw II wasn't the...
