Frozen ground, rain and cabin fever cured 1897 IH

[NEPADIGGER7]

Today I finally did it. I went out with my MD and said to hell with the frozen ground. Living in Northeast PA has it's perks but the snow is finally going away. I went out to a spot I haven't been to in quiet some time. After being out less that 30 minutes I get a solid hit near a huge tree. After pounding my lesche into the ground with a rock because of the frost, out pops a 1897 Injun. Well needless to say a hour later it started to pour. Could I have stayed...yes AT Pro. Did I? Of course not tommorow is supposed to be 60+. This was my first time out with the AT pro I kind of miss my whites m6 but I still got it. A few hundred more hours of learning the machine and I'll be back to pockets full of silver...jk. As you could see in the pic I scratched the face of the coin well the head dress. Can't wait to get back out there bright and early. Thanks for reading!

Love the patina on the coin. I'm on the western side of PA, an hour north of Pittsburgh.
The grounds been thawed pretty well here for about a week. I just have to find the time to get to it....*sigh*.

Glad you could get out. I don't know if I could deal with cabin fever!! i hate it when it rains for a couple days -- no less to be frozen out!!

Excellent! Try Upstate NY now...damn. I went out last Saturday and only a little of the south facing slopes were somewhat diggable. It's snowing now. Got an 1886 IH and junk earring. Complaining...no..frustrated...yes. It will thaw my friend.

Thanks for the response! Yeah as you can see the frozen clumps of dirt. The entire area isn't that bad but some areas...such as this on... North side of the tree were just frost which is not differ friendly. But it's quarter to 9pm and it's warmer than it was all day. I think I'm going to call it a early night and see what I can bring out of the ground in the AM. If anyone is free and wants to go and is Near or in the wilkes barre pa area...I know there's a section for it but I always like to offer. Tommorow will be a silver day!! Thanks again for the replies!
