26 degrees and sunny this morning so I had to give it a try for the new year. Found a piece of ground at a soccer field that was in the sun that I could get my digger in after the first inch of frozen ground so I started detecting. There were so many quarter hits that I quit digging anything below them since the ground was like concrete. Then BAM... 91 in all directions and about the size of a pop can. I dug it anyway and wow! A 1972 Eisenhower dollar 4" down and laying perfectly flat! $9.02 worth the clad in 2 hours and I got my fix in before the 4" of snow hits tonight.

Great finds / Still looking for an Eisenhower dollar. Hope it warms up.
 

Me too fingerlakes, it's going to be -4 here in the beginning of next week.
 

Very good morning.....:icon_thumleft:
 

Nice start to the year! Congrats!

I'm going to need a 24" probe, 18" of snow coming! Brrrrrr!
 

9.gif BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I FOUND ONE OF THOSE
 

Thanks guys! I was looking for a big hole in the center. Lol With no cladding left on it at all I was sure it was going to be a giant washer, then I saw the reeded edge and thought I had something old. It's one of those head scratchers for sure when a coin of that size is in the hole.
 

Nice Rob, lucky to get out!!! Been bitter here, 6-8 inches on the way today. No end in sight
 

Thanks cooper. -10 for the low Monday with a high of 4 here and another 5" of snow on the way. I'm going to get the shakes in two ways. Lol
 

Great find! I was lucky enough to find 2 in one month last year, but no hopes of digging here anytime soon. We have 5 inches of new snow and overnight lows forecast of -5F. Sunday we're getting rain with temps in 30's, snow on Monday again and 7F on Tuesday. We're having roller coaster temps for the next week. My last dig was New Year's Day and the ground was frozen about 2 inches deep in corn fields. Probably deeper after today's frigid temps. Hope you can get out soon again!

2 in one month is unreal Old Dude! It took me 30 years to find one. :)
 

They sure make you gasp when you see them in the hole, don't they? I forgot to breathe for a bit, lol. Happy New Year!
