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.

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
