Met up with Daytondigger today on a nice, crisp Sunday in Ohio 
. We agreed to meet up at Steves "Honey Hole" at 10:30. (Please read Daytondiggers post) Of course the weather man said today would be cloudy and 25. Well, it snowed all day. Today's high, 25.Imagine that ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
But it isn't going to put me on the back burner until spring!!!!! No way, Buddy 
That's how I earned my name, CrazyJarhead. And did I mention, I don't hunt with gloves either Well after downing 2 cups of extra strong Starbucks coffee 
I was blazing for a hunt 
Hunting was easy once you kicked the iceburgs out of the way 
The ground underneath was prime 
We concentrated on an area that has been overlooked in the past and must have been a nice sledding area back in the early days. I didn't come to the hunt expecting to find a nice half dollar, but it is always nice to dream about it. The funny thing is, Steve had just cut his hunt short about 2 feet where I hit a nice pocket spill. 1 hole, 3 wheat's and a Rossie. Just past that, Ben Franklin was calling my name. He wanted out of his winter hiding spot and I moved in for the taking. Boy was I ever happy. 
The Ace 250 pegged right at the 50 cent piece, 4 inches down. My first half dollar of any kind. Shortly after that, a 1968 silver Canadian dime. The last year they made them, I was told. Next I uncovered a button. Although it's not 1800's, I believe it to be mid-1900's. Any help would be appreciated. Found 4 nickles, 2 clad and 2 early 60's. A bunch of Zincolns and a bunch of clad dimes and quarters. After we were done, you could definitely tell where we had been. It was nice detecting in the snow because you could see where you had been. Didn't need any rope or string today. Enjoy Ron

But, the frost line goes down about 15 inches, and while you can detect, you can't dig. That 15 inches is like digging in cement. So, all we can do is wish for spring.
