I am in Boise/Meridian... I'm hitting tubing hills while my son is sledding, but it's slim pickings, and wicked cold. I completely worked the hill in November, though, to ensure any signals I find are fresh drops and don't require digging. The last hour of detecting I did, I managed two dimes, and 5 pennies, and a couple of kid pendants. It never ceases to amaze me that people will drop stuff ALL the time!
I'm sure looking forward to two weeks After Christmas. The tot-lot tour of the second full school week of the year, typically yields quite a bit of jewelry from the lots. Typically, I find silver, too. Love those Christmas presents they leave for me!
Cheers,
Skippy
