Wisconsin State Agencies: FLMDC members, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Association

             of Treasure Hunters of Milwaukee have worked with the Department of Natural Resources

             in an attempt to locate and recover two military cannons, lost during the war of 1832, more

             commonly known as the “Blackhawk War.” They also assisted State Archaeologists in

             searching for artifacts at the “Battle of Wisconsin Heights” skirmish site.

       Law Enforcement Agencies: FLMDC members, at the request of the Madison Police

             Department, searched a local lake in an attempt to locate a bag of money and a gun from a

             local robbery. The Wisconsin State Highway Patrol also requested assistance in searching

             the median strip of Interstate Highway 90/94 to locate a bolt that would determine why a

             trailer unhooked from a truck, crossed the median strip and struck a car, killing it’s

             occupants.

       Cleaning City Parks: Each year members remove thousands of bottle caps, pull tabs, glass

            shards, and various other metal and trash items from local parks and beaches. We have

            picked up road debris, three times per year, on a two mile section of highway near Madison.

       Aircraft Accident Site Search: Members assisted in searching fields near Alta, Iowa for

            aircraft engine parts from the crash of Flight 232 in 1989. Members spent two long days

           with about one hundred other detector users attempting to locate parts that General Electric

           could use to pinpoint why the engines failed, causing the crash.

       Personal Services: Members voluntarily return lost rings, jewelry, heirlooms and key rings to

            their owners. Members have also found property corner survey stakes for many land owners.
