Default Warm weather in WI is good

Hi all,

Got out for a little bit after work today, it was just beautiful, hit 71 degrees here. Went to a park that is only about 2 minutes from my house but has been around for over 100 years. I've been to this park before but the weather was kinda cold... didn't find out about it until late last year. I only hunted for about a hour and a half but ended up with a fake watch, that has turned green from being in the ground. Not sure what to make of it, might be old might be newer... also found a newer penny and a 1964 nickel. Yet the find of the day, which is a first for me, was the 1927 buffalo I pulled from the ground. Now I'm itching to get back to this park, it's kinda big and I've hit only a minor part of it.

HH,

Brian
