Went out today to meet up with my old buddy t-bucket to do some News Years Day Detecting. We both need to start the New Year off right with some silver finds. It was quite cold out and i knew I could not stand it to long. Within 5 minutes of swinging I got a nice silver sound @ 6" that turned out to be a 1954 Rosie in nice shape. I spent another 50 minutes detecting only finding clad so I decided to get into my car to warm back up. I went over to t-bucket to check his finds and he had found a nice 1942 Mercury Dime. He said he was quite cold and was going home. I decided to check out the old city park that I have done quite well in this summer. I was there for 20 minutes and got a slight chirp @ 4". I then rotated 90 degrees and swung again. The chirp repeated. When I dug target it was on it's side in frozen ground. I broke the clod apart and could see the edge of the coin. Boy when I got the coin out I was amazed at the condition of it. Here are pics. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

You can sure see you took your time on the dig. That 1914 is sweet
