Frozen ground makes for cool finds!

[Slipperyjack47]

Had a warm spell today, got up to 38 degrees so i thought I would try a quick hunt. Went to an area where I pulled 3 indian heads last month. I was rewarded not only with frozen fingers but my very first Crotal bell and a semi key 1898-O Barber dime. The ground was froze solid down to about 2 to 3 inches so retrieving the finds was major excavation and almost needed blasting caps! Might try again tomarrow if it don't turn cold tonight! Hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a super New Year!

It might have been cold, but I bet you didn't want to stop after finding that Barber Dime.

Nice Digs Jack!
Sweet barber and great bell!

Glad you are still able to get out. We have over 18" of hard snow now. It warmed up and rained, then froze hard.
Made the snow a little shallower, and a whole lot harder!

I was in Flint and LaPeer last week, just amazed at how little snow they had there.

Good Luck, and I hope you get out again. Maybe a January thaw is on the way?

Cool finds,literally! I found a crotal bell, like yours in my back yard. House built in 1873 and barn,further back. I wear the bell,on my key chain and it rings when I walk.Anyhow,I am a ding-aling anyway. Ha Ha. I love the artifacts better than some of the coins
