It sure was great getting out yesterday and swinging the coil. 8-) The first two sites I went to were still frozen. :BangHead: 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. :occasion14: One down, 59 to go. :headbang: I also pulled 2 wheats, a 1913 that cleaned up nicely which filled a slot in my coin folder :thumbsup: 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. :hello2:

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
 

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!
 

Loco, you did well in finding unfrozen ground,and the results were very rewarding.
 

Nice job Loco! Congrats on filling a coin slot and the Girl Scout Pin should be a nice addition to your collection.:thumbsup:
 

Very happy for you Loco :)
 

Good stuff Loco congratulations on first silver of the year... Good luck
 

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!
