Hello all,
The snow is almost entirely melted here in southern WI, though the ground is still frozen in spots. I got out for the first time this year yesterday, with some decent success. First coin out of the ground was a 1869 two cent piece in fairly good shape. Also found an 1856 French 5 centimes, three IHs, two sleigh bells, a silver thimble, and a flat button with a backmark that I can't quite discern. Bunch of wheats, one was a 1926-S.

Happy hunting everyone,
