Man I woke up today and knowing it was going to be in the mid 50's today :hello2: I dreaded going to work since we have been experiencing -20 wind chill a few days ago. :BangHead: After a couple hours I decided to take the afternoon off with my Boss's approval. :thumbsup: Went home, got changed and headed back to the woods just down the road. It was a grey rainy day, but boy did it feel great detecting again. :occasion14: I was swinging the F2 with a sharpshooter coil since bit the F75LTD and F70 have been cleaned up and stored. First target was a wheat, 2nd target wheat and then I walked to another area. Pulled plenty of foil and only 90 cents total. On the way back to the car 3 hours later I got another wheat and my last target was my 1st silver for the year. It was a 1940 GW quarter.

Snow and cold is coming back in tomorrow. Gonna be in the teens and is supposed to drop 3 to 5 inches of that white stuff. Glad I got out and swung the coil. I mean no one on their death bed ever wished they worked 4 more hours. :tongue3:

As always, I hope ya'll got out and swung the coil :metaldetector: today.

Yes, this weather was a surprise for me too. It officially got to 62 in the Pittsburgh area. Wait 24 hours and it'll be crappy again. Watch out for that flu that's going around as I've heard it's real bad.

edit to add: Sorry as I forgot to congratulate you on your finds. My bad.

Nice going on getting out and your first silver of the year. Congrats!
Looks like winter again after today, pouring rain here. knocked the snow pack down a foot so there's bare spots now even, but forecasting a dumping of 8" tonight.

Nice finds Loco. Our weather here in Illinois has been just like yours. We hit 58 degrees yesterday, but I was working all day. Cold and snow is coming back to us also. Glad you at least got your fix in for a few hours.

I'm glad you were able to get out before the storm. They covered their rears on our prediction: anywhere from 2" - 24" lol!
Congrats on the finds!
