Indiana, Wisconsin, Fishing, & Detecting
My son and I just got back from our fishing vacation in Indiana and Northern Wisconsin. It was still in the 50's a rainy in Wisconsin so the fishing wasn't that great. Enjoyed the week with my two brothers, nephew, & friends. My younger brother, who NEVER fishes, smoked us with a 34" Musky, and three Northern Pike. Two were off the pier in front of our cabin!
We'll never hear the end of it I'm sure.
I brought my detector and snuck in a few hours of detecting in my hometown in Indiana.
One was a 1890 house in town, and the other was a beautiful old 1850's house in the country. The finds at both houses were deep due to the soft black soil. I was pulling up memorial pennies at over 6" deep! Very disappointing.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")

Nothing too great found, but I got a few keepers.
At the 1890 house I found:
*Toy WW2 soldier
*Toy Cowboy ("Lincoln Logs" on the base)
*Denver Mint / Dept. of Treasury token
At the 1850's house I found:
*1900 & 1905 IH
*General service eagle button
*Wheats- 1925 to 1956
*1943P war nickel
*Dog tag from this location!
*Kent knife
*Asst'd relics
Also, when I got back I had my very first issue of North South Trader's Civil War magazine waiting for me. I was honored to find my "NC" buckle and "CSN" button gracing the page AND in color to boot! That made up for the poor fishing & weather this trip. 
I hope to get caught up on the great finds soon.
Thanks for looking,
MM

I just checked it out under my microscope, unfortunately it is only a 43. I think what you may see is a slight bubble under the silver. Good eye. 
Those old homes are beautiful. Like those old toy soldiers. I bet you had a whirlwind of a trip. Too bad you didn't have more time and could have driven up then we could have hunted some places around here. Ron
