The ground is officially frozen. Even in the woods where I've been able dig up till now has a good 3 inches of frost . Still managed to dig this 1891 indian head penny though. Made it worth the blisters on my palms.

It's batteries out time in Minnesota too. Once that ground starts to Freeze it isn't thawing until spring. Nice you could end it with an oldie.

Tried the beach today, really thought the sand would be soft.....................not,................even to hard for the Samson. Come on Spring!!

The first place to thaw here in spring is the south side of a hill that gets direct sun, so maybe they are also the last place to freeze. It's worth checking out if you are looking to get a few more hunts in.
