Well I probably won't be doing any detecting until March if the snow doesn't melt upstate

Very nice totals for only your second year detecting, SMS!!
That trail in the woods was a great spot. I'm sure you will find a little more when the snow lifts, and the ground becomes unfrozen.

We're getting a good thaw starting this weekend, and it might be possible to hunt some woods sites by Sunday, them are the only spots that I hunt in the winter here in Michigan. I found 2 silver halfs in the woods the last week of december. I've been hunting adjoining woods to city and county parks myself lately. The ground don't freeze there like grass(lawns) and the hardest thing to contend with are leaves and some snow(hopefully not much).
