Warmed Up Enough to Get In One Last 2023 Hunt

[Mason Jarr]

Even though it's been below freezing at night here in Southern Idaho it was in the low 40s today so I went out to get a little fresh air and see if I could pierce the ground. In the shady areas the ground was frozen down about 4 inches, but in the sunny parts it was fine. Didn't find anything spectacular, but got a wheat, a lead cavalry soldier and a sterling bracelet charm. Best find of the day was realizing my joints could still bend!

Good finds, one of the smallest lead soldiers I've seen.

Thanks. Same for me on the soldier. I wonder if it was a game piece?

Good to see you get some digging in. 👌
Nice calvary soldier piece.
is there any maker's mark?

It's great to be ending the season on the last day of the year, especially for the northern states/provinces.

Thanks. That'll probably be it until late March or early April. January and February are usually our coldest months. Happy New Year!
