The snow melted!!! First time out for 2011 = copper

[Diggincoinz]

It's been a long winter since it turned cold and snowy here December 1st. Three whole months of Brrrrr!

I didn't know quite where I was heading to md this morning but I knew I was going no matter what now that it quit raining. I ended up going back to a appler orchard that I began to hunt last fall. It used to have three 1800's home there in a row so I'm going up and down between the new apple trees. Tons of trash in the area where the houses sat from being bull dozed I guess.

I'm really surprised that I didn't find any buttons but I did manage to come out with three old coppers. First one out was a 1883 Indian Head Cent, then a 1928 Wheatie and finally a beat 1818 Large Cent. I cleaned them a bit but it didn't do much to them.

But tonight its snowy again but I'll get back there soon enough to see what else I can dig up.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! .... the 2nd pic is after I cleaned them lol

We got about a inch of snow cover last night but it's warming up today to around 42 degrees. I'm planning going down the road from my to my daughters school librarian, it's a beautiful 1875 Cobblestone home. I'll grab a few pic then... I can't wait!

Oops! Sorry about that buddy! Good luck with your hunt today. It's been raining / snowing here on and off for 3 days now, sure hope it warms up soon. Next week's going to be pretty mild from what I can see.
