The ground is thawing here but I am still very limited to where I can dig. I went back to the site I hit all last year to give my dog a run and check out if I could dig at all.

The ground was still frozen in most spots. Only a slope seemed like a possibility. I got the hit right away.

When I started to dig I realized the ground was only soft for about 4 inches down but it was right there :hello2:

A 1795 .. can't even see the 17 and the back is completely worn but it is my first and I love it! What a nice way to start the season! ;D

And yes that is a bear eraser I used to prop it up.

Cleaned her up a little
