FROZEN SOLID cellar hole

[Sniffy]

Managed to get out today for a quick little dash around a new cellar hole. My last hunt here produced a gilt button and a 1890 IH. I damaged both (due to digging and chopping in rock hard ground). Thinking that the ground may have softened up a bit, I tried again today. Some spots are soft enough in one section to dig, but closer to the field in the open the ground is litterally rock hard. I left 3 "coin" sounding targets in the ground. These targets I didnt' want to scratch up. 2 solid quarter signals, and a penny/dime-screwcap signal (Indian head). Anyhow, I'll be back. Today was fun, I managed this 1898 Indian Head in great shape, 2 buckles, a suspender clip part?, and a brass whatsit.

good job Sniffy. sonds like you took my advice.

Atleast you got out. That would drive me nuts hearing those good signals and not being able to dig them. Best of luck sleeping and dreaming. Good luck when you do get back there.

I don't know how you did it, Sniffy. You probably left 2 Coronet cents in those holes. Just make sure you are the one that digs those signals, if you are bringing a buddy to hunt with you.

I sympathize with your plight, last year I was using a hammer and chisel to chip finds out of the ground! Keep the faith that spring will soon be here!

I marked the signals with stacked stones, I'll be back. So far, every target dug at this site has been somehow scratched. I don't wanna chance maiming a descent Large Copper.

I use a hammer and chisel as well, but I always end up nicking my targets.

Nice finds. I can't stand being cooped up due to frozen ground either so I bought a Lesche mini pic axe.
