Couldn't wait for warm weather.
What a ridiculous hunt. I needed to get out just because I wanted to get at least one hunt in Feb. I had no intentions of digging anything deep or old. I was on a mission to return home with one unearthed coin. I got two! lol. The first place i went, I couldn't find a place to swing a coil that didn't have at least 10" of snow frozen over it. So I left and stopped by another spot before I admitted defeat. This spot had a parking area that had been cleared by a plow and a beat up old walking track, also plowed. I was only after near-surface finds though I did hear quite a few deep targets. Save those for a nicer day. I have never worked so hard for a few clad cents but it was GREAT to be out. Only found 2 cents, a 2008 dog tag and a whatsit. I severely wounded all targets trying to chip them out of the frozen ground. What a sickly fun hunt in 5°F weather! It should really be warming up in the next few weeks. JJ

Sometimes the only way to stop that itch is to scratch it.
