    First Winter storm

    The forecast was for 1 to 2 inches and so far we have what looks like 4 or so and still coming down.It's really wet and heavy stuff too. I suppose it could have been worse...tomorrow is the anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. All of you from the upper midwest will remember the...

    I've been watching this one field...

    Even though it's now a farm field, it is the corner where the outdoor movie theater used to be. I've been watching all summer, waiting for the harvest but it's in soybeans and they are STILL there. Well, maybe next year. MrGee

    My season may be over

    I was out briefly for the last two days and nearly froze my fingers and ears off. Temp was in the 40's but the wind was really frigid. Besides, the batteries in my Ace are down to the last notch. Man, I hate the thoght of 3 to 4 months without being able to get out. MrGee

    Any Garrett folks lurkning in here?

    A question for any of you knowledgeable Garrett geeks. I have an Ace 250 that I have had for almost two years. Do these machines ever "get out of tune"? I ask because it seems that it's not as accurate on identifying targets as it once was. Half the time it identifies a dime, it turns out...

    Found my first Euro today

    I was wondering a week or so why i had never found a Euro. They are pretty widely circulated now and should have showed up. Today I found a 1 Euro in a school tot lot. Also found my 16th dollar coin right next to it. Hit a couple of schools and found three cheap pendants and a fairly nice...

Last week the TV had extensive coverage of the new procedures and featured prominently outside Lambeau field in Green Bay were Garrett wand detectors It was pretty cool to see that big yellow GARRETT on them,. Lots...

    Haven't posted too much lately............

    ........cause it's been a while since I found anything really interesting. Today, howevr, in a school yard I found a lapel pin with the back pin broken off that reads "White House Medical Unit". My thought was that it was a local ambulance service or some such thing, but no - it you Google...

    McDave: Are you staying safe up there?

    Hope you're not close to the big forest fire up there. I'm 3 to 4 hundred miles SE of you and a couple of days ago we got a good dose of smoke from it for about half a day. Stay safe up there partner. MrGee

    Another How do you handle this?

    My little town has about 200 houses that have been foreclosed and are sitting empty. Some are owned by banks or mortgage companies but many are owned by FHA, Freddy Mac or Fanny Mae. A few have realty signs in the yards but most just sit there empty. How the devil would you ever get...

    Where the devil is all the silver?

    I haven't found a silver coin since about the end of May. Do you suppose they are all gone now? Also noticed that wheats are getting scarce and harder to find. I've found several pieces of silver jewelry but no coins to be had. Bummer! MrGee

    Got Chased out of a Park today

    Went to a neighboring town to work the tot lot. There were two older ladies with their three grandchildren, all pre school. Since they were at the other end of the tot lot I decided it was okay until one of the ladies told me that she felt "threatened" by my digger. So I said, okay. If it's...

    What should I do?

    Here in town we have a baseball stadium that has been in use since the mid 1930's. It was the high school baseball stadium and until about 10 years ago also hosted the high school football team. So it's gotten a lot of use over the years and as far as I know no one has ever been in there with a...

    Made a valuable contact today

    The next town over from here had, from 1942 to 1945, a POW camp that had up to 350 German POW's in it. Today I decided to check it out and drove out there expecting to find a weedy, brushy area. Imagine my surprise when I pulled in between the two brick pillars (original ones) and found about...

    Can anyone id my mystery coin?

    Found this at the base of the local sledding hill today The back side is worn completely smooth - smooth enough to make one think it was sanded down. I wonder if this is some quaint Chinese custom to file off the back of a coin? Oops..first I need to find out if it's Chenese or .....what...

    I found an earring......

    When I showed it to my sister she lamented over the fact that I only found one and then she added that women never lose both of them so I was stuck with finding singles. The very next day, I was in the park and next to the basketball hoop, I found these about a half inch down...a pair of...

    Another strange one

    This piece is pretty rough. It's thick and heavy and it appears to be homemade from a lead fishing sinker or some such thing. Note the residue inside the circle. It is some kind of glue and the circle is EXACTLY the size of a dime. I immediately pictured it with a Merc glued in there so I...

    Found this in front of the school...

    I think that those best friends aren't best friends anymore as evidenced by the fact that the chain came out with it and wasnt broken - it was carefully unfastened. Friendship is so fragile at that age. MrGee

    Here's an interesting piece...

    Found this in the edge of soccer field and cant quite figure out what it is. There is no loop for a necklace chain, no sign of a pin or other way to fasten it onto something. Could it have beeen on a belt or purse or something like that? I don't know. Can't figure out how it was fastened...

    Here's something I didn't know..

    I didn't know that Wisconsin had an official state fossil until I found this medallion. (Not that I cared that much). Personally, I think that they could have picked something more interesting that a Trilobite but I guess they didnt' ask me, did they? MrGee
