One Down 59 to Go.

[Loco-Digger]

It sure was great getting out yesterday and swinging the coil. The first two sites I went to were still frozen. I ended up going back to the park where I dug the IHP (couple weeks ago) in Lorain. The low lying areas were still frozen, but it's a big park. I did find plenty of areas where the soil had thawed. The park was founded around 1906 so there is opportunity for turn of the century coins. I ended up digging $2.31, mostly clad. I dug my 1st silver of 2016, a 1941 quarter. One down, 59 to go. I also pulled 2 wheats, a 1913 that cleaned up nicely which filled a slot in my coin folder and a 1941.

I ended up going to another small little park in a neighborhood. No swings or anything, just a triangular swath of land with 2 rows of trees, surrounded by 3 streests. I pulled $1.22. The coolest find was the Girl Scout pin.

Going back out today, probably going to hunt abandoned homes that are scheduled for demolition.

Wow, that penny is in great shape! Congrats on the silver quarter too. Its a real treat to get out and go detecting in the dead of winter. Its going to to be up around 50 degrees today in Mass, and I hope to get out and do some digging a little later this afternoon. HH

Way to go Loco,
Congrats on your first silver of 2016.
I think I'm going out to try to find some grass that isn't covered with snow. lol

 

[WHADIFIND]

Sounds like a fine day to me. I probably could get out today, even with all the snow. But, somehow, I just don't have the "itch" bad enough to have to scratch, yet! (Probably has something to do with finding that diamond ring. Kind of a big placemarker, ya know?

Congrats!

Way to go, Loco! It's supposed to be in the 50s here all week and I just found a new spot that looks like it gets full sun. Should be decently thawed for me to get out. Hopefully I have some luck like you did. Quarters are tough finds, IMO. Congrats and happy hunting!

Nice to get the 2016 ball rolling, especially with a larger silver. I'm jealous that you can hunt right now!
