Most of the snow has melted but the fields are still like concrete...frozen solid. Seeing all that grass was too tempting so I gave it a shot. I spent almost 10 minutes digging down 6 inches for a worn copper...which made it all the more worth it! I decided to hit the beach as the tide was going out. No cannonballs but a few more musket balls, including a pistol shot, to add to my poundage. Most of the musket balls on the beach are on the surface due to the strong tides wearing the mud away and depositing it elsewhere. The pic with the glove is an insitu of musket ball #1 which I saw before I detected!

Nice :icon_thumleft: Pretty cool that you can just walk around eyeballing those musket balls.

Warm temps next week might start melting those fields! You've been digging all through the winter so I guess you can't complain! :icon_thumright:
 

Wish the snow was gone from here...congrats on still digging and the finds! :icon_thumright:

I'm so impressed that you are able see the ground let alone dig in it, any finds are good finds in February!

hopefully winter stays good for you and you can have a full 12 months of finds in 2012
