Thank-You Jacko and LBP!
I live by Sparta Wi so its a little drive to Lake Superior and York Island,I'm closer to the Mississippi(I think) but I would love to hear what you have on them if I could.
Just for the record. I stole this email address from my daughter about five years ago before I knew anything about setting up an
email account. Its embarrassing for a woman my age (48) but I have to many people that email me to go through the hassle of changeing it now.Tho, I have been told that I am still a "hot Mama" I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

The last expert on Wisconson was Pete (Free2Detect) in LaCrosse I think, but he seems to not be so free to detect or at least able to post right now since I haven't seen him on...? He was thinking of moving last I heard, but if you can find him you will find no other better!? ? I consider the many coins he found to be treasure!

This might be of interest to you Miss, The Tomah Wisconsin GPAA Chapter meets Sept 17th, at the Boys and Girls club at 11 AM. In Tomah Wisconsin. Several of the gold prospectors also metal detect. I believe that town is not too far from your location.

 

[beautiful_hotty]

Dear Zumbro Kid,
Your right, Tomah is just about 20 miles from here.
Thank-you for the tip, I will be checking into it!
Are you from around here?
Take Care and Godbless you with the big treasures!

I'll try to post this link in, it appears the area of Sparta goes back to 1851 so the old coins and stuff should be there. http://www.spartawisconsin.org/history.htm Hope this helps, also go to the local libary and check out books on the old days there. The photos in those books should help you place where events and businesses where located.
