I was able to get out on Saturday. It was cold and icy, with the top couple of inches of dirt frozen in some places.

I went to a older school. I was able to get some clad, a couple of Wheaties, a "Joy" Christmas pin and a fired .45 slug. I quickly tired of that and went to a vacant lot that used to have houses on it. This place has been hunted by many other MDers. It started out slow, the obvious areas had been cleaned out... no good signals. I was finally able to locate an area that used to be a backyard. I picked up a few Wheaties, then a silver Rosie showed up... a sight for sore eyes, as the silver has been a bit scarce so far this year. About 10 minutes later, another silver Rosie... NICE. I ended up with two silvers and a dozen Wheaties.

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

That sure is awesome! Congrats on the double silver Rosies and dozen wheats
It's really great you can get out there and dig!
I'm drooling all over the screen just looking at the dirt!

glad to see you finding the silver, especially at this time of the year. I figure in some places with so many hunting, it can be challenging to find spots like that, was hoping that you had found bigger silver too but you take what you find and be thankful. great finds my friend. Jerry

I told you that I had hunted there and that going there would only be waste of time since it had been hunted by "many other hunters" - you never listen to me.

I always listen to you... I just don't always hear what you say!
I have hunted that place before too, and found nothing. I just got lucky and found that little spot in that backyard, where the wheat and silver was hiding out. Thanks Smittyman, you are the best!

Thanks TBD. Without the "you know what" from people like yourself, I could have never achieved this success, and I am grateful for it.

How about that?

Nice saves Tom!

Next time you get tired of all the hunting you can do down there. I understand that Msbeepbeep is having a snow removal party up there. ;)
