I feel for you. With me this winter has been hard on the parts that walk and dig. This may be my last year, at least at the rate I have been going.

There's your change up. Dig ALL mid tones until you are pleasantly surprised.
We all feel that way some times. Well, maybe not Cru and those guys... HH and GL ALL!

My Grandpa instilled in me at a young age, that "He who expected nothing, ain't gonna be disappointed" .. I firmly believe that is true, an I approach every hunt with that in mind.

You want me to really piss some people off? I hunted for my first 3 years with a single freq Whites, great machine. The MOMENT I switched to a multi freq machine, the old deep coins piled up so fast I couldn’t believe it. There was THAT much of a difference. Just my experience, that’s all. What you are saying was exactly how I was feeling until that happened, and it hasn’t let up yet. This is what really made a believer out of me...a great many of these newfound old deep coins came from the SAME places I was hunting before with the Whites. There has to be something to it, right?

Nice finds. Sorry to hear it hasn't been fun! Do you have any alternatives? Beaches? Permissions? Sometimes a change of scenery can breathe some new life. Sometimes you need a break. Good luck regardless!

Don't give up...your next great score might be one dig away. I don't find a lot to brag about, especially compared to stuff I see here, but I sure have fun trying. HH!

Come back to dig at my PA farm site tomorrow! Gonna snow Saturday! Barber dime $1.29 - minie ball $3.00 and up. That's why I hunt old places only. (But its mainly for the history.) Except when its mid summer and I hit a beach or two.

I hear you went today for an 1.5 hours in the cold and found $1.50 in clad - closest I came to anything old was an 8 inch deep 59 Lincoln. One wheat would have made my day.
Oh well always next time.
Good luck in the future - I'm not quitting but the weather will probably stop me for the next 2 months.

Maybe you just need to change it up and try a new strategy. Perhaps spend a couple days just riding around talking to old people. Ask me where was the hangouts, card houses, ect. Or just knock on doors and find some new permissions. Some of my best finds came out of yards with homes built between 1920-1960. Most of the super old stuff around here has been pounded. I still detect the real old stuff but I concentrate on younger lots. Good luck
