This stinks.
Through research, just found a site one of the earliest settlers in the tri county area I live in. This was developed into a small settlement. It was a pretty prosperous place in the early 1800's. The gentleman that settled it was a socialite so to speak, and had guest. One being Jefferson Davis and another Zach Taylor. So their were most likely coins lost at various functions. Here is where the treasure hunters mind starts to spin....tragedy strikes.....over 50 people lost their lives, and in a nutshell the settlement was never the same.
Treasure hunters dream right?
Yep I can walk on the place like I own it.
The bad news is I do own it, along with other Wisconsinites, its managed by the WI DNR. So they don't take kindly to detecting.
